Popis: Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) is an open-source platform for deploying enterprise-level permissioned blockchains where users from multiple organizations can participate. Preventing unauthorized access to resources in such blockchains is of critical importance. Towards addressing this requirement, HLF supports different access control models. However, support for Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) in the current version of HLF is not comprehensive enough to address various requirements that arise when multiple organizations interact in an enterprise setting. To address those shortcomings, in this paper, we develop and present methods for providing full ABAC functionality in Hyperledger Fabric. Performance evaluation under different network configurations using the Hyperledger Caliper benchmarking tool shows that the proposed approach is quite efficient in practice.
