Abstract: A target device may have a target application and a web application thereon, and a trust broker may generate an application token having associated therewith a state attribute having at least one of a hash digest and a property value assertion, and weighted trust score. The application token may correspond to a level of trustworthiness, in near real time, of a running application instance of the target application. A trust monitor may monitor an execution state of the target application, and an authentication broker may authenticate a user to the web application and based upon a web services query for remote verification of the target application. A network access enforcer may control access of an authenticated user to the target application, and a trust evaluation server may interrogate the target application and generate a trust score.
