Abstract
A system and method for controlling the access of users to a trusted computer system using an authentication and authorization database, containing information used to authenticate human users and information establishing what each user can do, and a number of software processes, including session initiation, authorization, credentials and database management daemons. The software processes are implemented in an independent fashion to prevent any process from performing an operation that would affect another process in an unauthorized way.
