+ABAC stands for authorization-based access control.
+In this model, access is not granted based on the
+identity of the caller but by an authorizing agent
+that delegates access to a particular resource.
+Such authorization is then encapsulated in
+[[capabilities]] allowing them to be freely [[delegated]].
+
+See also [[IBAC]]. \ No newline at end of file
