An ontological framework for situation-aware access control of software services

作者:

Highlights:

• The definition and identification of the purposes of users׳ access requests for software services in terms of context information.

• A situation model for defining, identifying and reasoning about purpose-oriented situations in terms of context information and access purpose.

• A policy model for specifying and enforcing situation-aware access control policies.

• An ontology-based framework and prototype implementation to model and identify the purposes, situations and policies for access control.

• The case studies demonstrate the general applicability of our framework and the experiment results quantify system performance.
