Abstract

We defined a distributed access control system on top of blockchain technology. The underlying idea is to properly represent the access rights of the subjects in the blockchain in order to easily allow their enforcement at access request time. By leveraging blockchain advantages we can add new desired properties, such as auditability, to the access control system. To prove the feasibility and validate the proposed approach we developed a proof of concept implementation and performed some relevant experiments.
