A computer implemented method of access control for a restricted resource of a resource provider in a network connected computer system, wherein a blockchain data structure accessible via the network stores digitally signed records validated by network connected miner software components, the method comprising: identifying an access control role definition for access to the resource, the role including a specification of access permissions; defining a cryptocurrency for indicating authorisation to access the resource, the cryptocurrency being formed of tradeable units of value associated with records in the blockchain and wherein transfer of the cryptocurrency between records in the blockchain is validated by the miners; receiving a request from an authenticated resource consumer for authorisation to access the resource; and submitting a blockchain transaction to the miner components to transfer a quantity of cryptocurrency to a consumer record in the blockchain, the transaction including an identification of the role, such that the consumer record identifies that the consumer is authorised to access the resource in accordance with the role definition. |
