Designing Access Control Policy Using Formal Concept Analysis
Bo Chen, Jia Di Qiu, Ming Chen · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
The need to securely share information among collaborating entities is increasingly becoming important. It often needed to implement access control (AC) models. The objective of this paper is to design access control policy using formal concept analysis, which is based on mathematical lattice and order theory. We provide discussion on how FCA can be used to capture RBAC constraints. We show with FCA, we can express more intend constrains than it can be done in traditional RBAC approach. The experimental results show that the approach is more resilient to dynamic computer environment.
