Automated Symbolic Analysis of ARBAC-Policies

چکیده
One of the most widespread framework for the management of access-control policies is Administrative Role Based Access Control (ARBAC). Several automated analysis techniques have been proposed to help maintaining desirable security properties of ARBAC policies. One limitation of many available techniques is that the sets of users and roles are bounded. In this paper, we propose a symbolic framework to overcome this difficulty. We design an automated security analysis technique, parametric in the number of users and roles, by adapting recent methods for model checking infinite state systems that use first-order logic and state-of-the-art theorem proving techniques. Preliminary experiments with a prototype implementations seem to confirm the scalability

متن کاملBoosting Model Checking to Analyse Large ARBAC Policies
The administration of access control policies is a task of paramount importance for distributed systems. A crucial analysis problem is to foresee if a set of administrators can give a user an access permission. We consider this analysis problem in the context of the Administrative Role-Based Access Control (ARBAC), one of the most widespread administrative models. Given the difficulty of taking...

Role Based Access Control (RBAC) has been widely used for restricting resource access to only authorized users. Administrative Role Based Access Control (ARBAC) specifies permissions for administrators to change RBAC policies. Due to complex interactions between changes made by different administrators, it is often difficult to comprehend the full effect of ARBAC policies by manual inspection a...
