The Semantics of Role-Based Trust Management Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
Role-based Trust management (RT) languages are used for representing policies and credentials in decentralized, distributed access control systems. RT languages combine trust management and role-based access control features. A credential provides information about the keys, rights and qualifications from one or more trusted authorities. The paper presents a set-theoretic semantics of Role-based Trust management languages, which maps a role to a set of sets of entity names. The semantics applies not only to the basic language of the family RT0, but also to a much more sophisticated RT , which provides manifold roles and role-product operators to express threshold and separation-of-duty policies. A manifold role defines sets of entities whose cooperation satisfies the manifold role. It enables to express a such a condition, which need more than one member of a role to effectively fulfill the particular task.

Lexical Semantics and Selection of TAM in Bantu Languages: A Case of Semantic Classification of Kiswahili Verbs
The existing literature on Bantu verbal semantics demonstrated that inherent semantic content of verbs pairs directly with the selection of tense, aspect and modality formatives in Bantu languages like Chasu, Lucazi, Lusamia, and Shiyeyi. Thus, the gist of this paper is the articulation of semantic classification of verbs in Kiswahili based on the selection of TAM types. This is because the sem...
متن کاملNonmonotonic Trust Management for P2P Applications
Community decisions about access control in virtual communities are non-monotonic in nature. This means that they cannot be expressed in current, monotonic trust management languages such as the family of Role Based Trust Management languages (RT). To solve this problem we propose RT⊖, which adds a restricted form of negation to the standard RT language, thus admitting a controlled form of non-...

The family of Role-based Trust management languages is used for representing security policies by defining a formalism, which uses credentials to handle trust in decentralized, distributed access control systems. A credential provides information about the privileges of users and the security policies issued by one or more trusted authorities. The main topic of this paper is RT⊖ , a language wh...
متن کاملDesign of a Role-Based Trust-Management Framework
We introduce the RT framework, a family of Rolebased Trust-management languages for representing policies and credentials in distributed authorization. RT combines the strengths of role-based access control and trustmanagement systems and is especially suitable for attributebased access control. Using a few simple credential forms, RT provides localized authority over roles, delegation in role ...
