Interaction control list determination and device adjacency and relative topography

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory for storing computer code comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to at least:
• receive one or more policy settings from one or more organizations;
• receive an authorization query from a policy consuming device, the authorization query comprising (i) an identity of a named entity device which sent a message to the policy consuming device and (ii) associated metadata about the message;
• determine a role of the named entity device specified in the one or more policy settings based on the identity and the associated metadata;
• generate an interaction control list based on the policy settings, the interaction control list including information that specifies whether the named entity device is authorized to communicate with the policy consuming device;
• and
• transmit the interaction control list to the policy consuming device as a response to the authorization query, the interaction control list causing the policy consuming device to react to the message based on the interaction control list.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing computer code comprising instructions, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to at least:

• receive one or more policy settings from one or more organizations;
• receive an authorization query from a policy consuming device, the authorization query comprising (i) an identity of a named entity device which sent a message to the policy consuming device and (ii) associated metadata about the message;
• determine a role of the named entity device specified in the one or more policy settings based on the identity and the associated metadata;
• generate an interaction control list based on the policy settings, the interaction control list including information that specifies whether the named entity device is authorized to communicate with the policy consuming device;
• and
• transmit the interaction control list to the policy consuming device as a response to the authorization query, the interaction control list causing the policy consuming device to react to the message based on the interaction control list.
