Abstract

A system and method for controlling access to a secure resource in a device are disclosed. In some embodiments, the device may include a processor capable of receiving a first request from a first application of a plurality of applications executable by the processor, where the first request requests access to the secure resource, and the first request identifies the plurality of applications. In response to the first request, the processor is capable of generating a ticket associated with the secure resource and with each of the plurality of applications, and then storing the ticket in a memory. After receiving a second request from a second application requesting access to the secure resource, the processor is capable of granting the second application access to the secure resource, if the ticket associated with the secure resource exists and if the ticket is associated with the second application.
