Abstract

According to one embodiment, an apparatus may store a first and second subject token that indicate a first authentication method performed by the user and a second authentication method performed by the user respectively. The apparatus may detect at least one new subject token indicating at least one different authentication method performed by the user. The apparatus may then determine that a particular combination of subject tokens in the first subject token, second subject token, and the at least one new subject token indicates a privilege should be granted to the user, and facilitate the granting of the privilege to the user.
