Abstract:
A system described herein may maintain one or more smart contracts on a distributed ledger. The system may receive a request, associated with a User Equipment (“UE”), for access to a particular network (e.g., a private network), identify one or more attributes of the UE, and select a particular smart contract based on the attributes of the UE. The system may execute the selected particular smart contract, which may include performing operations, indicated by the particular smart contract, using the one or more attributes of the UE as inputs. Executing the particular smart contract may further include identifying outputs that result from performing the particular set of operations using the attributes of the UE as inputs, such as a network access policy for the UE. The system may output a response to the request, indicating the network access policy determined based on executing the particular smart contract.
