Design and Implementation of a Context-Based Security Model

Abstract

This paper proposes a context-based security model and describes one of the design and implementation of enforcement mechanism of it. In this access control model, a kind of object-oriented petri-net with nets-within-nets semantics is adopted as a context representation. This approach is, particularly, expected to be suitable for dynamic access control within inter-organizational business processes. The overall architecture of the access control model is designed by extending XACML standard architecture. And a Scala-based internal Domain Specific Language is designed to specify security policies. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
