autorizue

Autorizue is a term used in theoretical discussions of access control to describe the process and artifacts involved in granting permission for actions within a system. It denotes both the act of issuing authorization and the resulting credential or token that allows an entity to perform authorized operations.

Autorizue emphasizes dynamic, policy-driven permission management in distributed and cloud-native environments, where access decisions may be re-evaluated continuously rather than only at login.

Etymology: the term appears as a neologism formed from the English word authorize with a modal or domain-specific suffix to signal a formal artifact. It is not part of standard security nomenclature and its usage is limited to speculative literature and experimental systems.

Core concepts: an autorizue can be a credential, token, or assertion containing claims about identity, roles, scope, time-bound constraints, and revocation status. Policy engines evaluate requests against access-control policies, and a successful decision is accompanied by an autorizue that is presented to the resource or service. Revocation, rotation, and minimization of privileges are central to maintaining security.

Applications: envisioned for cloud platforms, microservices, API gateways, and IoT ecosystems where rapid, automated authorization is needed. It aligns with approaches like OAuth, OpenID Connect, and attribute-based access control, but centers on the issuance and enforcement artifact itself.

In practice, autorizue relates to OAuth, JWTs, and policy-based access control, though it remains distinct as an issuance artifact.
