Abstract
Provided is a system and method to authenticate multiple users in order to secure sensitive cloud assets. The system comprises a user device, a service provider, and an identify provider. The service provider provides services for producing and consuming data. The identify provider authenticates and authorizes multiple authorizors for providing user access to the resources and data. A device app communicates with the service provider and identify provider. The device app polls votes and determines when a quorum approval for utilizing data is met within a constraint. It authorizes the user temporary access to the data for use by one of the services upon quorum approval, and enforces temporal and physical conditions on it. The access can be granted via a push action or a pull notification. Other embodiments are disclosed.
