Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, at a host device, a signal indicative of an authentication request for a client device to access a resource from a set of resources. A resource confidence value associated with the authentication request is calculated based at least in part on (1) a threat confidence vector associated with at least one risk mitigation score for each threat from a set of threats and (2) a set of resource vulnerability scores associated with the resource and each threat from the set of threats. The resource confidence value is compared to a resource confidence criterion associated with the resource from the set of resources. A signal indicative of a positive authentication is sent from the host device to the client device when the resource confidence value satisfies the resource confidence criterion such that the client device is granted access to the resource.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium includes code to cause a processor to send, from an authorization client on a device to a client authorization module, an indication of multiple applications installed on the device, and receive, at the authorization client and in response to the indication, multiple application tokens from the client authorization module. Each individual application token from the multiple application tokens received by the authorization client is uniquely associated with an application from the multiple applications installed on the device. The authorization client provides each application its associated application token such that each application from the multiple applications can use that application token in order to be authenticated to an application server associated with the application.
