Abstract
This invention provides a system and method for implementing a middleware caching arrangement to minimize device contention, network performance and synchronization issues associated with enterprise security token usage. The invention comprises a token API mapped to a cache API. Logic associated with the token API preferentially retrieves information from a memory cache managed by the cache API. Mechanisms are included to periodically purge the memory cache of unused information.
