Constraints validation in privacy-preserving attribute-based access control
2015
Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) has been found to be extremely useful and flexible and has drawn a lot of research in recent years. It was observed that in the context of new emerging applications, attributes play an increasingly important role both in defining and enforcing more elaborated and flexible security policies. Recently, NIST has proposed more formal definition of ABAC. In this paper we discuss a general privacy-preserving ABAC model (which combines both authentication and authorization) and propose an approach to handle constraints in such privacy preserving setting.
A MAS Security Framework Implementing Reputation Based Policies and Owners Access Control
2006
Multi-agent systems expose users to risks related to lack of knowledge above interacting users. Such systems should provide tools to protect their own resources from illegal accesses by unauthorized users. This paper describes a security framework for Multi-agent systems preventing a trusted agent to interact with malicious agents and granting agent and platform resources. This feature is obtained adding an access control mechanism that joins the benefits of Credential Based Access Control, Role Based Access Control and Mandatory Access Control. Authorizations and access control policies are set by XML based policy files. A case study on a distributed document retrieval system is also illus…
Attribute based access control scheme with controlled access delegation for collaborative E-health environments
2017
Abstract Modern electronic healthcare (e-health) settings constitute collaborative environments with complex access requirements. Thus, there is a need for sophisticated fine-grained access control mechanisms to cater these access demands and thereby experience the full potential of e-health systems. In order to realize a flexible access control scheme, integrating access delegation is of paramount importance. However, access delegation has to be enforced in a controlled manner so that it will not jeopardize the security of the system. In this paper, we addressed this issue through proposing an attribute based access control scheme integrated with controlled access delegation capabilities. …
Enforcing role based access control model with multimedia signatures.
2009
International audience; Recently ubiquitous technology has invaded almost every aspect of the modern life. Several application domains, have integrated ubiquitous technology to make the management of resources a dynamic task. However, the need for adequate and enforced authentication and access control models to provide safe access to sensitive information remains a critical matter to address in such environments. Many security models were proposed in the literature thus few were able to provide adaptive access decisions based on the environmental changes. In this paper, we propose an approach based on our previous work [B.A. Bouna, R. Chbeir, S. Marrara, A multimedia access control languag…
