Abstract

See full text

Methods, signals, devices, and systems are provided for delegating rights in a distributed computer system from a principal to one or more deputies. The deputies have identities separate from the principal. This allows the deputies to persist after the principal logs off the system, and permits deputization across boundaries imposed by namespaces and particular network protocols. A deputy may also delegate rights to additional deputies. Deputization is accomplished using certificates, credentials, public and private keys, process creation, and other tools and techniques.
