Abstract

According to one embodiment, an apparatus may store a plurality of token-based rules. A token-based rule facilitates access to a resource. The apparatus may further store a plurality of tokens. The plurality of tokens may include a session token. The session token may be associated with access to the resource by a user. The apparatus may receive a first token indicating that an emergency has been declared. The emergency may be associated with the user. The apparatus may determine, based at least in part upon at least one token-based rule from the plurality of token-based rules, that access to the resource should be terminated in response to receiving the first token and terminate the session token in response to the determination that access to the resource should be terminated.
