Abstract
In accordance with certain aspects of the present invention, improved methods and arrangements are provided that improve access control within a computer. The methods and arrangements specifically identify the authentication mechanism/mechanisms, and/or characteristics thereof, that were used in verifying that a user with a unique name is the actual user that the name implies, to subsequently operating security mechanisms. Thus, differentiating user requests based on this additional information provides additional control.
