Applies to:
Access RevocationRBAC PoliciesDynamic PermissionsEmergency Access
Overview
Revocation and access control testing validates DuoKey DKE's ability to dynamically manage document access permissions, including immediate revocation, policy-based access control (RBAC), and real-time enforcement of changing security requirements.
Use Case 1: Immediate Access Revocation
Purpose
Validate that access to DKE-protected documents can be immediately revoked for specific users or groups.
What to Test
- Real-time access revocation effectiveness
- Cross-device revocation enforcement
- Cached document access after revocation
- User notification and experience during revocation
- Audit trail for revocation events
| Metric | Target |
|---|---|
| Revocation time (online users) | Within 30 seconds |
| Revocation time (administrative action) | Within 5 minutes |
| Offline users blocked | Immediately upon reconnection |
