CBAC

Context-Based Access Control

All terms
SCROLL FOR THE DEFINITIONTRUSTEDTRUCKSN 52.52° / E 13.40°
01DefinitionNIST Special Publication 800-162 / TrustedTrucks Security Architecture

An advanced access control paradigm evaluating real-time operational context alongside user roles to grant dynamic data access.

01 / CANONICAL DEFINITION

What it means.

Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) extends traditional Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) by evaluating dynamic environmental attributes—such as active shipment assignment, vehicle geolocation, geofence status, and lifecycle stage—before authorizing access to sensitive commercial data.

02 / ROLE IN TRUSTEDTRUCKS

Where it is used.

Enforces sovereign data isolation between competing logistics providers. For example, a carrier can only view telemetry for loads they are actively transporting, and consignees only receive location feeds once the truck enters their dispatch geofence.

03 / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Decision rule: Permitted = f(Subject_Role, Object_Shipment, Environment_Context, Geofence_State, Stage_ID). Zero-knowledge redaction applied to carrier pricing and shipper identity.

04 / WHAT IT MUST NOT IMPLY

Read it carefully.

CBAC does not replace identity authentication (SIWE/OAuth); it governs post-authentication data access rights.
