Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying access control instructions to attributes. A request is received for permission to perform an operation on an attribute associated with an access control instruction. The access control instruction specifies an allowed type of channel for the operation. If a secure channel has been established with the requester, the permission to perform the action is granted.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a request for permission to perform an operation on an attribute associated with an access control instruction (ACI), the ACI specifying an allowed type of channel for the operation;
- and
- granting the permission to perform the operation if a secure channel has been established with a requestor.
A machine-accessible medium including data that, when accessed by a machine, cause the machine to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a request for permission to perform an operation on an attribute associated with an access control instruction (ACI), the ACI specifying an allowed type of channel for the operation;
- and
- granting the permission to perform the operation if a secure channel has been established with the requester.
A system, comprising:
- a server that includes a repository having a plurality of entries, each of the entries having at least one attribute associated with an access control instruction (ACI) that specifies an allowed type of channel for the an operation, and an access control logic to receive a request for permission to perform the operation on the at least one attribute of an entry and to grant the permission to perform the operation if a secure channel is established with a requestor.
