Abstract

The present invention is directed to restricting device access per session. Entries in a device list are configured to store session ID values in addition to values for other device properties. A session ID value for a device can be set to the session ID value of a (e.g., RDP) session that registered the device such that the subsequent transfer of device related information for the device can be restricted to processes in the session. When a request for device related information is received from a process, an access check is performed by at least comparing a session ID value for the process to a session ID value stored in a device entry for the device. When the access check is successful, for example, when session ID values match, access to the requested device related information can be permitted.
