RTME: Extension of role-task modeling for the purpose of access control specification

Abstract

Interactive systems are often developed without taking security concerns into account. We investigated a combination of both HCI models and access control specifications to overcome this problem. The motivation of a combined approach is to narrow the gap between different modeling perspectives and to provide a coherent mapping of modeling concepts. The general goal is a systematic introduction and tool support of security concerns in model-based development of interactive system. In this paper we report results of our work currently concentrating on the early design steps. The focus of this presentation is on the specification of task and role hierarchies, conflicting privileges and related tool support. © 2010 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
