Abstract

Innovations in information technology impose new security and privacy issues which include traditional access control, trust management (TRM) and digital right management (DRM). Traditional access control has focused on a closed system where all users are known and primarily utilizes a server-side reference monitor within the system. TRM covers privacy issues such as the authorization for strangers in an open environment, like the Internet. DRM has focused on client-side control of digital information usage. By unifying the aforementioned three areas, UCON offers a promising approach for the next generation of access control. In this thesis, we briefly introduce the state of the art on Access Control, including some Access Control Models. Subsequently, we describe in details the UCONABC model which is a Usage Control Model. We propose two implementations of this model (UCONengine). More precisely, the first implementation is in Java, using the Schema of eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) and the second implementation is in Java, using Data structures and a Database. We demonstrate several examples to show the power of this model. Finally we present some conclusions and future work.
