Abstract
Approaches for providing reputation based access control are provided. Specifically, at least one approach includes: identifying a requesting subject requesting access to a controlled resource; retrieving a reputation of the subject stored as a virtual attribute in a reputation-based access control database, the reputation comprising a value for skill for operating with the requested controlled resource; determining whether the subject is a known security risk; modifying a reputation of the subject and an associate in the case that a security risk of the subject meets a threshold; modifying the reputation of the subject based on at least one of: peer feedback and expert opinion, in the case that the subject is not a known security risk; retrieving a policy of the requested controlled resource; determining if the reputation of the subject meets the policy, and if so, allowing the subject access to the resource, and if not, denying the access.
