METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO DATA STORED IN A SECURITY DATA ZONE OF A CLOUD PLATFORM

摘要

A method and system for providing access by an application (APP) to data stored in a security data zone, SDZ, (7) of a cloud platform (2), the method comprising the steps of determining (S1) by an access manager module, AM, (4) of the cloud platform (2) in response to a query, Q, received from a querying application (APP) of the cloud platform (2) credentials for a security data zone, SDZ, (7) based on determining, by the access manager module, AM, (4) whether a first access token, FAT, included in the received query, Q, belongs to an application (APP) registered at the access manager module (4) and whether the user specified in the received query, Q, is allowed to use the registered application (APP) and determining (S2) by the access manager module, AM, (4) of the cloud platform (2) a second access token, SAT, generated on the basis of the determined credentials to the querying application (APP) which uses the returned second access token, SAT, to obtain access to data stored in the security data zone, SDZ, (7) to be processed by the querying application (APP).
