We propose a simple modelling language extending iContractML 2.0 for access control policies on smart contracts. The language supports multi-party authorisation and dynamic role-based access control (RBAC) where role members can be added or removed at runtime. Models in this language can be mapped to both Solidity and DAML in a model-driven approach to RBACs.

This research paper aims to investigate smart contracts and Blockchain technology to build a privacy-sensitive application focusing on a Digital Medication Plan (DMR) containing prescriptions. The DMR is used just as a use case. However, the proposed model applies to any context where confidential information is shared and authentication or proof of validity is necessary. We start by presenting the problem to understand the necessity of digitalizing the medication plans and how Blockchain techn...
