    摘要: A monitoring service monitors performance of an authentication application that authenticates a user or service and securely communicates a status of the authentication application to a service application providing a software service. The monitoring service generates a token using a private key. The token is stored in a secure datastore writable only by the monitoring service and is also provided to the service application. The service application validates a signature of the token using a public key and determines an authenticity of the token by comparing the received token to the stored token in the secure datastore. In doing so, there is a high degree of confidence that the token, or an associated encrypted message, originated from the monitoring service and properly identifies the status of the authentication application.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for implementing asymmetric cryptography for digital rights licensing during system disruptions. In particular embodiments, the disclosed systems transmit, to a licensing device that issues digital licenses, a digital communication indicating a system outage of an identity server that verifies digital licenses of client devices. Based on the digital communication, the disclosed systems call a monitoring device using a licensing device identifier. In response to the call, one or more embodiments of the disclosed systems use the monitoring device to encrypt and transmit a verification token back to the licensing device. In certain implementations, the disclosed systems then verify the system outage by decrypting the encrypted verification token and validating a corresponding digital signature. Upon validation, the disclosed systems can trigger a failover mechanism for issuing a grace digital license to one or more client devices during the system outage.
