Abstract

According to one embodiment, an apparatus may monitor a session that facilitates a user's access to a resource. The user may be granted a privilege associated with accessing the resource. The apparatus may detect a change associated with the privilege granted to the user in at least one token of a plurality of tokens. The apparatus may then communicate a token that represents the change, and receive a risk token associated with the token. The apparatus may then determine to revoke the privilege based on the risk token, and generate a second token that represents the determination to revoke the privilege. The apparatus may then communicate the second token to facilitate the revoking of the privilege.
