Abstract

Systems, methods and apparatus for a distributed security that provides authentication and authorization management. The system can include an epoch manager that is used to generate authentication and authorization data that remain valid only for an epoch. The epoch manager can generate an epoch key pair that can be used to encrypt and decrypt the authentication and authorization data during the epoch that the key is valid. The epoch manager can also associate the contents of the data with the epoch in which it was created, so that at decrypting the epoch that the data was generated in can be identified.
