Patent number: 8447974Abstract: An approach is provided for managing access rights of users to information spaces using signatures stored in a memory tag. A signature manager caused reading of a memory tag to initiate a request, from a device, for an initial access to an information space. The request includes an authorization signature associated with the device. The signature manager determines a level of access to the information space by comparing the authorization signature against a lattice of signature primitives associated with the information space. The signature manager then modifies the authorization signature based on the determination and stores the modified authorization signature for validation of subsequent access to the information space by the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Sergey Boldyrev, Ian Justin Oliver, Jari-Jukka Harald Kaaja, Joni Jorma Marius Jantunen, Jarmo Tapani Arponen
