Role-Based Access Control Model and its Implementation in Operating System
Sun Young Yu · 2003
Since Role-based access control shows great advantage in meeting the security need in large-scale, enterprise-wide system, RBAC becomes the hot topic in access control research area. Researchers have proposed several RBAC models, which include the famous RBAC96 model. However, these frameworks are sometimes hard for system developers to understand because the models defined are too abstract or focus on application-oriented solutions. In this paper, a new model (OSRBAOis discussed, which is the improved model to RBAC3 model in RBAC96 model family. Compared with RBAC3 model, OSRBAC model is more concrete and easilier to understand. At the end, this paper describes the implementation of OSRBAC model in RedFlag Secure Operating System (RFSOS).
