Abstract

Techniques for providing access control in environments that may become disconnected, as a whole, from other networks (e.g., on-board a vehicle) may include locally storing access control information within the dis-connectable environment, and locally providing discovery and authentication/authorization services. Local services and/or applications may be registered and authenticated and client applications may be authenticated and/or authorized to one or more locally provided services and/or applications even when the environment is in a disconnected state. Local access control information may be synchronized with source access control information stored externally to the environment (e.g., on the ground). These techniques may easily support different dis-connectable environments that are provided by an environment service provider, as well as support different sets of locally provided public and/or private services and/or applications and different sets of client applications across the different environments.
