==Original Abstract Submitted==

the present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for controlling access to multimedia content. in an access control system, each device operates as a gateway or node in the access control network and is linked to the other devices in the access control network. each device in the network has a hash value that identifies the device and the type of media content or content providers the device can access. when a device requests to access media content, nodes in the access control system can compare the hash value of the user device to hash values in an allocation table to determine whether the user is authorized access the media content. in some implementations, a device connected to the access control network can verify or validate the hash value of the requesting device by comparing the hash value to hash values in an allocation table stored on a blockchain.
