Abstract: A system for cross cloud workload identity virtualization including a program having instructions to route a first network call from a workload in a first cloud computing environment addressed to a first cloud computing environment instance metadata service (IMS) having destination data with an IP address of 169.254.169.254 to a universal IMS (UIMS) different from the first cloud computing environment IMS, route a second network call from the workload addressed to a destination other than the first cloud computing environment IMS to the destination indicated by the second network call, respond to the first network call with credentials valid for accessing a cloud service provided in a second cloud computing environment. The workload can access the cloud service from the first cloud computing environment, and access the cloud service from a third cloud computing environment different from the first cloud computing environment.

Abstract: A computing platform constructs an application from source code such that the application detects an attempt to access at least one secured entity of the application. Further, the at least one secured entity is registered with an authorization system by providing metadata that is descriptive of the at least one secured entity to the authorization system so that authorization metadata is generated based upon the metadata and a global unique identifier is assigned to the application and the metadata to identify the application and the metadata. The authorization metadata indicates an access policy to the at least one secured entity.

Abstract: Distributed computing systems can exchange authorization information in a manner which alleviates the need for a receiving system to utilize any external systems when making an authorization decision. The trusted authorization provider can digitally sign authorization snippets of information. The requestor sends the digitally signed authorization snippet with the request. Because both computing processes trust the same authorization provider, the servicer of the request is able to grant or deny access in a completely autonomous fashion without having to rely on external resources for authorization. A requesting process can determine the digitally signed authorization snippet corresponding with the request. The servicing process can rely on the digitally signed authorization snippet to perform the authorization.

Abstract: An internal gateway establishes persistent connections to an external gateway through permitted ports and protocols of a firewall. Software on the external gateway and the internal gateway collaborate in order to make available internal, firewall-protected resources to external clients securely and without having to modify network or firewall configurations. Any computing resource such as a web service, web application, or any other network addressable resource residing behind a firewall can be securely exposed in a generic fashion to clients on the external network. No special software is required by clients.
