Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed to apply permissions to applications. A disclosed example apparatus includes an address trust manager to obtain a first network address having a request for address authentication from a first entity, the first network address having a second network address associated with a second entity to execute the application, an address associator to compare the first network address to a trusted address database to determine whether the first network address is trusted, and a shadow environment communicator to generate a signed message based on the comparison of the trusted address database, the address trust manager to transmit the signed message to the second entity with an indication of authorization via the first network address in response to a match in the trusted address database, and transmit the signed message to the second entity with an indication of non-authorization via the first network address in response to a lack of a match in the trusted address database.
