DYNAMIC CODE INJECTION BY POLICY ENFORCEMENT POINT

Abstract:

An example method facilitates dynamic runtime execution of computer code that is selectively injected into messages in accordance with predetermined configuration rules for automatic execution at a message destination. The injection of code into messages, such as messages exchanged during an authenticated computing session, by a policy enforcement system, can be used to efficiently effectuate enhance computing environment security and computing resource use. For example, in a specific embodiment, code for detecting a browser-close event and then terminating a computing session can be automatically executed client side via a browser extension or plugin, thereby helping to eliminate the accumulation of stale computing sessions; thereby mitigating associated security risks and computing resource consumption of stale computing sessions. In another example embodiment, injected code encrypts session cookies, such as via a Time based One Time Password (TOTP).
