Abstract
Policy-based techniques are provided for dynamic access control for resources. One method comprises, upon a user attempt to access a given resource, identifying a policy defined for access to the given resource, wherein the policy comprises a rule and an allowed issuer of a verifiable claim; determining if the rule and the allowed issuer are satisfied based on an evaluation of the verifiable claim; and allowing the user to access the given resource if the rule and the allowed issuer are satisfied. A given rule can specify a threshold for a data item obtained from an allowed issuer. The policy can be stored by one or more policy hubs. A plurality of policy hubs can be organized in a hierarchical structure, such that one given policy is applied to the given resource in a predictable manner.
