What design pattern does this follow?
In my web app, I require users to re-enter their password after five minutes of inactivity, similar to how sudo works on Linux. Their password is used to decrypt information.
FWIW, the app is heavily Javascript and AJAX-driven, just like a desktop app, using ExtJS.
So, I've built a class which provides access to a decryption key based on the password they enter. This class expires the key after five minutes.
My question is: what design pattern does this follow or what would be a better name than 'Sentry'? I'm trying to name my class appropriately. Here's the class thus far:
class SecureResourceSentry
include Singleton
def initialize
# Set a default number of seconds for access to expire.
set_access_expiration_interval(300)
@key = nil
@time_last_accessed = 0
end
def set_access_expiration_interval(seconds)
@access_expiration_interval = seconds
end
def set_raw_key(raw_key)
@key = Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(raw_key)
end
def getKey
if @key.nil?
raise SecureResourceError, 'No key has been set.'

if access_is_expired
@key = nil
raise SecureResourceError, 'Access has expired.'
end
return @key
end
private
def access_is_expired
return Time.now.to_i - @time_last_accessed > @access_expiration_interval
end
end
It looks similar to the revocable accessor described in this secure design patterns talk : "The Lazy Programmer's Guide to Secure Computing"
Maybe call it an expiring accessor.
