Abstract

A system for distributing information from a first process to one or more security service modules. The system comprises a remote interface, capable of accepting first information from the first process, and a provisioning service provider (PSP) coupled to the remote interface. The PSP can obtain the first information from the remote interface, and also can provide second information to a local interface. The second information is based on the first information and is tailored for the one or more security service modules. The local interface can provide the second information to the one or more security service modules and the one or more security service modules can accept the second information and perform at least one of the following: adjust a configuration of the one or more security service modules to reflect the second information, and protect access to at least one resource based on the second information.
