Explicit Permission Protocol

An Explicit Permission Protocol is a protocol that requires clear user approval before proceeding with actions.

• AKA: Explicit Consent Protocol, User Permission Protocol, Opt-in Protocol, Active Consent Protocol.
• Context:
  • It can typically require User Interaction before action approval.
  • It can typically maintain Consent Records for audit purposes.
  • It can typically enforce Time Limits on permission validity.
  • It can often support Permission Revocation after initial grant.
  • It can often provide Granular Control over permission scopes.
  • It can often implement Multi-Factor Authentication for sensitive actions.
  • It can often display Permission Request Details for informed consent.
  • It can range from being a Basic Explicit Permission Protocol to being a Cryptographic Explicit Permission Protocol, depending on its security mechanism.
  • It can range from being an Interactive Explicit Permission Protocol to being a Programmatic Explicit Permission Protocol, depending on its interaction mode.
  • It can range from being a Single-Use Explicit Permission Protocol to being a Multi-Use Explicit Permission Protocol, depending on its usage scope.
  • It can range from being a Synchronous Explicit Permission Protocol to being an Asynchronous Explicit Permission Protocol, depending on its timing model.

• Examples:
  • Web Permission Protocols, such as:
    • Browser Permission API Protocol for camera and microphone access.
    • Cookie Consent Protocol for GDPR compliance.
    • Push Notification Permission Protocol for message delivery.
  • Mobile Permission Protocols, such as:
    • iOS Permission Protocol for app capability access.
    • Android Runtime Permission Protocol for dangerous permissions.
  • Enterprise Permission Protocols, such as:
    • Privileged Access Management Protocol for admin actions.
    • Data Access Request Protocol for sensitive information.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Implicit Permission, which assumes consent without explicit approval.
  • Automatic Approval, which lacks protocol structure.
  • Default Permission, which operates without explicit request.
