CABE: Attribute-Bound Data Exchange

Message and object-level protection for mission data that may outlive the transport path.

What it covers

CABE protects data at the message or object layer so control does not depend only on the live network path.

The paper frames CABE as the data layer that complements QHx Core: attributes, identity, and policy travel with the protected object and remain meaningful after transport changes.

Review areas

  • Attribute-bound access decisions.
  • Message-level encryption and release control.
  • Separation between transport security and object protection.
  • How CABE supports disconnected or delayed exchange patterns.
  • Where CABE fits beside workload identity and policy-mediated communication.
