Abstract
A program identity of an unknown binary is inferred in response to a trigger (e.g., a request to access or execute the unknown binary, etc.). One or more authentication factors are then executed to authenticate the inferred program identity of the unknown binary as being one of a plurality of different programs. The program can be selectively provided with access to system resources and/or sensitive operations can be limited based on a program nature of the authenticated program identity. In some variations, the authentication factors cause a modified authentication workflow in which a human user provides input as to whether or not to authenticate the inferred program identity.
