Abstract
For use in a computer network having first and second endpoints coupled thereto, a target application object being instantiatable on the first endpoint and a corresponding surrogate application object being instantiatable on the second endpoint, a secure system for, and method of, allowing the target application object to authenticate and authorize the surrogate application object and a computer network employing the system or the method. The system includes: (1) a first security target object, instantiatable on a central security endpoint coupled to the computer network, for instantiating and authenticating a corresponding first security surrogate object on the first endpoint and associated with the target application object and (2) a second security target object, instantiatable on the central security endpoint, for instantiating and authenticating a corresponding second security surrogate object on the second endpoint and associated with the surrogate application object, the central security endpoint creating an authorization code to authorize the first and second security target objects and thereby authorize the first and second security surrogate objects to enable operation of…
