Design of RBAC-based secure KAgent framework for home network applications
Pages 642 - 646
Abstract
Home network is a residential local area network where digital home appliances are connected with each other. In a home network, access control is an essential factor to provide a proper service to an authorized user. In this environment, there is a home server, which manages user's accesses to external sources. It prevents unauthorized users from accessing home appliances on the network. In this paper, we propose a role-based access control (RBAC) framework using mobile agents in home network environments. This framework, called Role-based KAgent framework, controls the users' authorities based on RBAC so that it manages the access control list in each device independently. Also, it guarantees secure role assignment using the role tickets introduced in the proposed framework.

DW-RBAC: A formal security model of delegation and revocation in workflow systems
One reason workflow systems have been criticized as being inflexible is that they lack support for delegation. This paper shows how delegation can be introduced in a workflow system by extending the role-based access control (RBAC) model. The current ...
A delegation model for extended RBAC
In the field of access control, delegation is an important aspect that is considered part of the administration mechanism. Thus, a comprehensive access control model must provide a flexible administration model to manage delegation and revocation. ...
