Beyond Risk-Based Access Control: Towards Incentive-Based Access Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, risk-based access control has been proposed as an alternative to traditional rigid access control models such as multi-level security and role-based access control. While these approaches make the risks associated with exceptional access accountable and encourage the users to take low-risk actions, they also create the disincentives for seeking necessary risky accesses. We introduce novel incentive mechanism based on Contract Theory. Another benefit of our approach is avoiding accurate estimate of the risk associated with each access. We demonstrate that Nash Equilibria can be achieved in which the user’s optimal strategy is performing the risk-mitigation efforts to minimize her organization’s risk, and conduct human-subject studies to empirically confirm the theoretical results.

A combination of semantic and attribute-based access control model for virtual organizations
A Virtual Organization (VO) consists of some real organizations with common interests, which aims to provide inter organizational associations to reach some common goals by sharing their resources with each other. Providing security mechanisms, and especially a suitable access control mechanism, which enforces the defined security policy is a necessary requirement in VOs. Since VO is a complex ...

Electronic health record (EHR) system facilitates integrating patients' medical information and improves service productivity. However, user access to patient data in a privacy-preserving manner is still challenging problem. Many studies concerned with security and privacy in EHR systems. Rezaeibagha and Mu [1] have proposed a hybrid architecture for privacy-preserving accessing patient records...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملAn automatic test case generator for evaluating implementation of access control policies
One of the main requirements for providing software security is the enforcement of access control policies which aim to protect resources of the system against unauthorized accesses. Any error in the implementation of such policies may lead to undesirable outcomes. For testing the implementation of access control policies, it is preferred to use automated methods which are faster and more relia...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
