You may be able to use PKI as part of your login process. As
a form of identification for instance.

You could limit the granting and updating of access rights to
specified users/managers. PKI to identify them, include time
and date to prevent replays with digital signatures to prevent
modification/forgeing of control messages.

No problem.
