Abstract
Indirect access control is performed between a requestor computing device and a requestee computing device. Peer data is transmitted from the requestor to the requestee that asserts that the requestor is trusted by a peer computing device. It is verified that the requestor has a first degree of trust with the peer. Next degree peer data is received from the peer that asserts that the peer is trusted by a next degree peer computing device. It is verified that the peer has a next degree of trust with the next degree peer. A trust score is calculated for the requestor based on the verification of the peer data and the next degree peer data, and an access level is granted to the requestor based on the trust score.
