TI - Service-Aware Access Control Procedure for Blockchain Assisted Real-Time Applications T2 - Computers, Materials \& Continua PY - 2021 VL - 67 IS - 3 SN - 1546-2226 AB - The design of distributed ledger, Asymmetric Key Algorithm (AKA) blockchain systems, is prominent in administering security and access control in various real-time services and applications. The assimilation of blockchain systems leverages the reliable access and secure service provisioning of the services. However, the distributed ledger technology’s access control and chained decisions are defaced by pervasive and service unawareness. It results in degrading security through unattended access control for limited-service users. In this article, a service-aware access control procedure (SACP) is introduced to address the afore-mentioned issue. The proposed SACP defines attended access control for all the service session by identifying the users and service provider availability. The distributed nature of the ledger systems and classification tree learning are combined to determine unattended access. The sole access is determined by summarizing the closed and open access requests and the service provider’s availability and integrity checks. In this process, the learning process classifies the secured access request and completed the integrity checks of the current and previous service dissemination. This classification-based access administration reduces the service disconnections and false access rate of the applications.
