Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of a hybrid access control model that integrates RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) and ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) within large-scale distributed systems. The objective is to overcome the limitations of single models by combining the structural clarity of RBAC with the contextual flexibility of ABAC. Methodologically, the research analyzes the integration of role-permission mappings with attribute-based decision logic and develops a decision engine and policy execution path tailored for multi-node architectures. Multi-source attribute synchronization and a layered decision framework were designed to support distributed deployment. Experimental validation demonstrates that the hybrid model effectively handles cross-domain access requests and dynamic authorization processes, while ensuring consistency through policy snapshots and attribute subscriptions. The results confirm that the integrated model reduces response latency, improves policy accuracy, and enhances adaptability under high concurrency, thereby providing a robust and scalable foundation for secure access management in distributed environments.
