Permission Management & Access Control

🔐 Permission Management & Access Control

In decentralized environments, access control can’t rely on centralized servers or static policies. SZNP implements a dynamic, programmable, and cryptographically secure permission framework that governs who can read, write, share, or audit data — across both AI and DePIN use cases.

🧾 Decentralized Access Control Lists (dACLs)

At the core of SZNP’s permission system is a decentralized Access Control List (dACL) model. It allows:

• ✅ Role-based permissions (e.g., reader, contributor, auditor)

• 🕒 Time-limited access (e.g., data viewable for 24h)

• 🔄 Revocable rights (e.g., remove access from a specific wallet at any time)

• 📜 On-chain logging for audit trails and accountability

Permissions are cryptographically signed and enforced at the storage node layer, preventing unauthorized access even if the file’s CID is known.

🧠 AI-Aware Authorization

For AI agents and autonomous applications, SZNP supports permission tokens and contextual access:

• 🤖 Agents can request access based on task or function

• 🔍 Smart contracts or DAO governance can approve or deny dynamically

• ⛓ All access is logged and verifiable on-chain via SSOP

This makes it safe to expose datasets to intelligent systems — without giving up ownership or privacy.

🔄 Interoperability with Other Protocols

SZNP’s access control system is designed to interoperate with:

• 🔐 Wallet-based identities (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)

• 🆔 Decentralized ID frameworks (DID, Verifiable Credentials)

• 🧩 Cross-chain gateways and bridges (with EVM compatibility)

This ensures developers can define granular, multi-chain, and multi-role access policies that scale with their dApp or AI workflows.

SZNP treats access control as a first-class citizen of the decentralized stack — Where data freedom and data privacy coexist by design.
