Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for a distributed security that provides authentication and authorization management. The system can include an epoch processor that is used to validate authentication and authorization data that is valid only for an epoch. The epoch processor can maintain a public key that can be used to decrypt the authentication and authorization data during the epoch that the key is valid. The epoch processor can receive a new public key during each epoch. The epoch processor can also determine if the authentication or authorization data was fraudulently generated based on the contents of the data, and verifying whether the data is valid for the epoch in which it was decrypted.
