ABSTRACT:
A method, system and token are described which control access to a token server system. In a first aspect, a method and system for controlling access to a file system of a token server comprise encoding a time specific permission into a token. In a second aspect, a token server system comprises at least one client and a token server accessible by the at least one client. The token server provides a token to the at least one client to allow the client to have access to the data on the token server. The token includes a time specific permission. In a third aspect, a token for use in a token server system comprises a group of privileges and security identifiers. The token includes a time specific permission. A system and method in accordance with the present invention controls access to networked systems, but does not totally disable or change a system to accommodate temporary outages of access. Individual groups could have different targeted functions (read, write, or execute) tied to different time blocks within a system. The token is not all or nothing, but instead provides finer granularity of function and time for security and access to data.
