COMPUTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMEDIATING PERMISSIONS ISSUES IN DURABLY CREDENTIALED SYSTEMS

Abstract

Systems and methods and computer program products support remediating a cryptographic chain of authorization. For instance, an item of work may be performed under the authority of a node, which itself was delegated authority by another node or a root of authority. In an instance in which the item of work is long-standing, and in which a link in the cryptographic chain of authorization may have expired or been revoked, a technique may include using previously-stored certificates to generate a substitute cryptographic chain of authorization to allow the work.
