Summary:A network device receives a smart contract for permissions to access a service, wherein the smart contract is in an initial block for authorizations in a shared ledger. The network device receives, from an authorization server device, an update to the shared ledger, wherein the update is a proposed block in the shared ledger requiring validation. The network device stores, in a local memory, a copy of the shared ledger with the update, when the update is validated by the distributed consensus network. The network device receives, from a client device, an item request for an item associated with the service, wherein the item request includes a client identifier. The network device identifies if there is match of the client identifier and the item in the copy of the shared ledger and sends, to the client device, the item when there is match of the client identifier and the item.
