Access Control Policies and Languages in Open Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most challenging problems in managing large, distributed, and heterogeneous networked systems is specifying and enforcing access control security policies regulating interactions between parties and access to services and resources. Recent proposals for specifying and exchanging access control policies adopt different types of access control languages. In this chapter, we review three different types of access control languages. We start the chapter with an overview of the basic concepts on which access control systems are based. We then illustrate logic-based, XML-based, and credential-based access control languages. We conclude the chapter discussing how policies expressed by using different languages and coming from different systems can be combined.

A 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 کاملA model for specification, composition and verification of access control policies and its application to web services
Despite significant advances in the access control domain, requirements of new computational environments like web services still raise new challenges. Lack of appropriate method for specification of access control policies (ACPs), composition, verification and analysis of them have all made the access control in the composition of web services a complicated problem. In this paper, a new indepe...
متن کاملCAMAC: a context-aware mandatory access control model
Mandatory access control models have traditionally been employed as a robust security mechanism in multilevel security environments such as military domains. In traditional mandatory models, the security classes associated with entities are context-insensitive. However, context-sensitivity of security classes and flexibility of access control mechanisms may be required especially in pervasive c...
متن کاملLogic-Based Access Control Policy Specification and Management
Recently there has been a great amount of attention to access control languages that can cover large, open, distributed and heterogeneous environments like the Web. These languages aim to be flexible and extensible, with enough features to capture expressive and distributed security policies. However, with expressive languages such as XACML or WS-Policy, users have problems understanding the ov...
متن کاملPTaCL: A Language for Attribute-Based Access Control in Open Systems
Many languages and algebras have been proposed in recent years for the specification of authorization policies. For some proposals, such as XACML, the main motivation is to address real-world requirements, typically by providing a complex policy language with somewhat informal evaluation methods; others try to provide a greater degree of formality – particularly with respect to policy evaluatio...
