Abstract
A method and system for authorization of applications executing on a device having a key store. Applications obtain an application-level ticket to permit access to one or more key values located in the key store. Each ticket is securely associated with an application and being generated on the determination that the application is a trusted application. Tickets are potentially associated with one key value in the key store, with a subset of key values in the key store, or with all key values in the key store. Access to key values by an application is possible independently of a user providing a password for each such access.
