Abstract
Access to a computing resource or service, to gain access to the computing resource or service is defined by access parameters contained in a certificate accessible by an access controller (which can also be referred to as a Unit-of-Use Controller). Identification data associated with a user is provided by a computer-controlled device to the access controller, which retrieves the certificate related to the identification data. The access controller then obtains the access parameters from the certificate and grants access to the computing resource for the user associated with the certificate as a function of the access parameters.
