Package com.privatechain.access

package com.privatechain.access

Private-network access control — allowlist enforcement, role-based permissions, and invitation-token issuance for the private-blockchain library.

Three sub-packages make up the access layer:

• com.privatechain.access.allowlist — enforces the set of permitted node identifiers before any inbound message is processed (FR-AC-01).
• com.privatechain.access.rbac — assigns and evaluates roles (NODE_ADMIN, NODE_MINER, NODE_OBSERVER) for each node address (FR-AC-02).
• com.privatechain.access.invite — issues and verifies ECDSA-signed, time-limited invitation tokens so new nodes can join a private chain (FR-AC-04, FR-AC-05).

The access layer sits between the TCP transport and the message handler:

   Inbound TCP message
          │
          ▼
   AllowlistManager ──[DENY]──► drop + log
          │ [ALLOW]
          ▼
   PermissionManager ──[INSUFFICIENT ROLE]──► return error
          │ [AUTHORIZED]
          ▼
   Message handler
