Techniques for network process identity enablement

摘要

Techniques for network process identity enablement are provided. Inter-server communications within a network are intercepted so that unique identity-based information is gathered and recorded before a sending process is permitted to release a communication over the network to a receiving process. Moreover, the receiving process cannot process the communication being sent until identifying information is gathered again and independently validated against the prior recorded information.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method that is adapted to executed by a processor to perform the method, comprising:
intercepting a communication sent from an application on a first server that is directed to a second server, the application is a legacy application not enabled with identity processing and the application unaware of interaction occurring with an identity service and the legacy application lacks the ability to communicate over a network using network communication associated with the identity processing; collecting information as metrics on the first server to uniquely identify the communication and the application and to assign a unique identity; passing the information to an identity service, wherein the identity service subsequently assigns the unique identity for the communication using the information collected and provides validation services for the identity when the second server receives the communication from the application and before the second server processes the communication, and the identity is a unique verifiable identity specific to the communication based on the information collected; and releasing the communication from the first server to the second server.
