Abstract: A method of authorizing a transaction may include receiving, by a hosted service from a client device, a request to access an account and determining whether a user of the client device is permitted to access the account. The method may include, in response to determining that the user is permitted to access the account, receiving, from the client device, a request to initiate a transaction, determining whether the transaction is a long-lived transaction, in response to determining that the transaction is a long-lived transaction, creating a transaction credential associated with the long-lived transaction, and determining, based at least in part on the transaction credential, whether the execution of the long-lived transaction is authorized.

Abstract: A method of controlling access to one or more data resources may include receiving, from a client device by an authentication server device, a request to access a data resource. The request may include a job identifier associated with a job. The method may include transmitting, by the authentication server device to a scheduling server device, the job identifier, receiving, by the authentication server device from the scheduling server device, job information associated with the job, determining, by the authentication server device, whether at least a portion of the job information satisfies an access policy associated with the data resource, and granting the job access to the data resource in response to the at least a portion of the job information satisfying the access policy.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for identifying undesirable features in a network of computers. During operation, the system detects an anomaly associated with a node in the network. Next, the system identifies one or more features which are associated with the anomaly. The system then updates the identified features. Next, the system communicates the information corresponding to updated features to at least one other node in the network. The system then receives information indicating a correlation between the updated features and the anomaly from at least one other node in the network. Next, the system correlates the updated features with the anomaly based on the received information. The system subsequently produces a result which indicates a correlation between the updated features and the anomaly.
