Context-based access control

Published:09 November 2005Publication History

ABSTRACT

Various use cases require flexible and dynamic access control management. This paper proposes security contexts and affinities for handling context-based access control for shared resources in a flexible way. It identifies components that can benefit very much from hypermedia models in terms of flexibility and extensibility. In addition, behavior components being able to interpret specific kinds of structures are suggested. This enables access control models that can be dynamically adapted and extended.
