There are provided systems and methods for an authorization and access control system for access rights using relationship graphs. A service provider may provide an authorization and access control system that allows users within the service provider and/or customer entities to assign and change access rights or permissions to computing resources. When providing control of these access rights, the service provider may utilize relationship graphs, queried and generated using a graph database, to visualize and determine access rights that are inherited through different relationships and policies defining these access rights. The relationship graph may show edges for nodes that correspond to related objects, such as actors, groups, and resources. Paths over the relationship graph may be used to determine access rights that may be inherited by users. Once determined, these access rights may be established and/or updated with computing systems.

There are provided systems and methods for multifactor authentication through cryptography-enabled smart cards. A user may engage in transactions or other online interactions that may require multifactor authentication, such as by providing a secondary or further piece of evidence or information that is used to more securely trust the user and that they are not another malicious user. The user may utilize a physical card that includes a microchip embedded to a surface, where the microchip includes a key or other cryptographic signing function to be able to be scanned and digitally sign a request for authentication from a computing device. A user's computing device may then be brought into close proximity to the microchip when a request to scan the card's microchip is received. The user's computing device may then use wireless signals to activate the microchip and perform a multifactor authentication.
