An access control model for supporting XML document updating

Abstract

Recently, specifying access control for XML documents over World Wide Web have been proposed. Most of the proposed models for specifying XML access control only support read privilege. Therefore, offering an access control model considering update operations is a challenging issue in XML access control specification. This paper proposes an XML access control model to specify access authorizations which deal with updating the well-formed XML documents. Also, a formal representation of update operations supported by our proposed model is defined in terms of the different policies which are taken for each update operation. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
