Description: Identity-Based Access Control (IBAC) is a security model that grants access to resources and systems based on the identity of the user or device requesting that access. This approach focuses on authentication and authorization, ensuring that only verified individuals or devices can access sensitive information or perform specific actions within a digital environment. Unlike other access control models, such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), which assigns permissions based on predefined roles, IBAC adapts to the unique characteristics of each user or device, allowing for more granular and personalized permission management. This model is particularly relevant in environments where information security is critical, such as in various sectors including healthcare, education, and corporate settings. The implementation of IBAC may include technologies such as multi-factor authentication, identity and access management (IAM), and security policies that dynamically adjust to the user’s circumstances, contributing to a more robust defense against unauthorized access and cyber threats.
