Abstract
A Quorum network comprising an access controlled multi-tenant network is provided that is configured to enable access control and state isolation in a multi-tenancy Ethereum-based distributed ledger system. The access-controlled network includes one or more authenticating servers (also referred to as access controls) for providing permission control to the nodes in the network. In a standard multi-tenant network, each user of an entity (also referred to as an organization) is limited to only transacting with (also referred to as accessing) their own authorized resources. The access-controlled network utilizes an access controller to provide a singular truth for a set of managed nodes through a trusted entity (such as a Network Authorization Server).
