Abstract:
A novel system for utilizing an authorization token to separate authentication and authorization services. The system authenticates a client to an authenticating server; generates an authorization token with the authenticating server and the client; and authorizes services for the client using the generated authorization token. The authorization token may be transferred via a third party, or may be utilized to extend an initial session without re-authentication.
