An Attribute-Based Access Control Policy Retrieval Method Based on Binary Sequence

Abstract

With the widespread application of new technologies, fine-grained authorization requires a large number of access control policies. However, the existing policy retrieval method applied to a large-scale policy environment has the problem of low retrieval efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes an attribute access control policy retrieval method based on the binary sequence. This method uses binary identification and binary code to express access control requests and policies. When the policy is retrieved, the appropriate group is selected through the logical operation of the access control request and the policy binary identification. Within the group, the binary code of the access control request is matched with the binary code of all rules to find suitable rules, thereby reducing the number of matching attribute-value pairs in the rule and improving the efficiency of policy retrieval. Experimental results show that the policy retrieval method proposed in this paper has higher retrieval efficiency.
