METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROVIDING A GROUP BASED DECENTRALIZED AUTHORIZATION MECHANISM

摘要

An apparatus for enabling group based authorization and service discovery in a decentralized network may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a request for a certificate indicative of an assertion of membership in a group defined by a resource identifier, and provide the certificate to the device in response to the request. The request may be received from a device in a decentralized network. The certificate may enable the device to perform mutual authentication and authorization with another device that is a member of the group based on the assertion.
