Attribute-Based Access Control

Definition

Attribute-Based Access Control grants permissions based on user characteristics rather than predefined roles. This security model utilizes a set of attributes associated with users, resources, and environmental conditions to determine access privileges. It enables fine-grained control, allowing systems to dynamically grant or deny access to digital assets or functionalities based on real-time data points. In blockchain environments, ABAC can enhance the flexibility and adaptability of access policies for decentralized applications.
