Abstract
Techniques are provided for approval and execution of restricted operations. One method comprises receiving a request to perform an operation from a user; providing a redirect request with a protected request to obtain approval from an approval system; receiving a protected request approval with the protected request that was generated by the approval system using a shared secret; comparing the received protected request to a regenerated request generated using information stored with the request; and initiating an execution of the operation in response to the comparing satisfying one or more approval criteria. The shared secret may be shared between an operation execution system and the approval system. The processing of the request, an approval result and/or the execution of the operation can be audited.
