An authorization device is configured to authorize access to a resource. The authorization device receives an authorization request to authorize a client device to perform an operation on the resource associated with a data system and compare an access characteristic associated with the resource with a policy associated with the resource. The authorization device generates a first message when a result of the comparison indicates that the client device is authorized to perform the operation on the resource and generates a second message when a result of the comparison indicates that the client device is unauthorized to perform the operation on the resource.

One example method includes detecting a threat in a data confidence fabric, assigning a data confidence score to data implicated by the threat, generating trust insertion metadata concerning the threat, creating a ledger entry based on the data confidence score and the trust insertion metadata, and using the ledger entry to determine an overall data confidence score for the data confidence fabric. A data threat portfolio view is generated based on the data confidence score and the trust insertion metadata, and the data threat portfolio view is presented to a user.

Techniques are provided for producing adaptive and verifiable bills of materials. One method comprises obtaining a verifiable claim associated with a device issued by a supplier of the device, wherein the verifiable claim comprises a decentralized identity for the device with corresponding public attributes; and verifying the verifiable claim for the device using the decentralized identity for the verifiable claim and the corresponding public attributes obtained from a distributed ledger. The verifying comprises, for example, reading a public key from the distributed ledger and verifying a digital signature of the verifiable claim using the public key. The verifiable claim for a given part may comprise a part status and when the part status of the given part indicates a recalled status, one or more predefined recall policies are applied for the given part and/or a device comprising the given part.
