Abstract
A system for detecting and mitigating attacks using forged authentication objects within a domain is provided, comprising an authentication object inspector configured to observe a new authentication object generated by an identity provider, and retrieve the new authentication object; and a hashing engine configured to retrieve the new authentication object from the authentication object inspector, calculate a cryptographic hash for the new authentication object, and store the cryptographic hash for the new authentication object in a data store; wherein subsequent access requests accompanied by authentication objects are validated by comparing hashes for each authentication object to previous generated hashes.
