Abstract
With decentralized authorization comes the challenge of ensuring that when a credential is written, then it precisely captures the delegation that is intended. A request for a particular service may be unexpectedly rejected, despite the requester having credentials for what should be considered a comparable service. This paper considers how techniques that support imprecision in Case-Based Reasoning Systems might be used when delegating and checking authorizations in the KeyNote trust management system.
