Abstract
A method can include receiving a request from a requestor to a given resource, which requestor is registered to access a set of one or more resources. The request includes a ticket that includes signature data generated by an authenticating entity in response to authenticating the requestor. The signature data may be decrypted to provide a decrypted signature. The ticket may be validated in response to the request based on evaluating the decrypted signature. A response can be provided to the requestor based on the validation, and the response can grant the requestor access to the given resource if the validation determines the ticket to be authentic and authorized for the given resource or the response can deny the requestor access to the given resource if the validation determines to reject the ticket.
