Abstract: The growing reliance on digital services necessitates robust access control mechanisms that ensure security and user privacy. In the era of digital services, ensuring secure and privacy-preserving access control has become a critical challenge for both users and service providers. Access control ensures that only authorized users can access specific resources, safeguarding sensitive information and preventing unauthorized actions. Traditional centralized authorization models often expose sensitive user data, increasing the risks of data breaches, surveillance, and misuse. To address these issues, we propose decentralized protocol designed to provide secure, privacy- focused, and scalable authorization for service access. This system leverages decentralized technologies, such as blockchain and distributed ledgers, to create a trust less environment where users can authorize access to their data or services without revealing sensitive information. By decoupling authorization from centralized entities, Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS) enhances user privacy, reduces the attack surface for service providers, and fosters greater user control over personal data. The protocol integrates cryptographic techniques such as symmetric encryption and proxy re-encryption to ensure that only the intended recipients can access specific resources, and it supports a wide range of service providers, from digital platforms to decentralized applications. This study outlines the architecture of decentralized access control and zero knowledge proof, explores its key privacy and security mechanisms, and demonstrates how it can be applied in storage and file service environments to protect user data while maintaining seamless access control.
