A Hyperledger Fabric Based Organizational Decentralized Access Control Solution

Abstract

Currently, various organizations rely on third-party access control and resource management applications or develop their centralized application for resource management. Considering the pitfalls of present centralized applications, the proposed solution presents a decentralized approach towards organizational resource management and access control provisioning within or across organizational units. The research attempts to provide solutions for problems and risks associated with a centralized resource and access control management systems. This approach leverages the advantages of the permissioned Blockchain framework - Hyperledger Fabric and peer-to-peer network. The proposed solution also provides Single Sign-On authentication mechanism (SSO) for various organizational resources. Using the approach presented in the paper we can develop an efficient way of Team management with which we can achieve a higher degree of autonomy of subdivisions within an organization.
