  • As a large quantity of information is presented in XML format on the web, there are increasing demands for XML security. Research area or n security is about Encryption Digital signature, Key management and Access control. until now research on U security has been focused on the security of data network using digital signature and encryption technology. As XML data become extensive and complex XML security comes to involve not only network security but also managerial security. Managerial security is guaranteed through access control. But XML Encryption supports simple network security. So it can't support multiple users and multiple access control policies. In this paper, we propose an integration method of encryption and access control policy for securing XML documents. This methodology can supper multiple authorizations of multiple users with integrating access control. And this can reduce the cost of evaluation process of the existing complicated access authorization with pre-processing.

  • With the wide acceptance of the Internet and the Web, volumes of information and related users have increased and companies have become to need security mechanisms to effectively protect important information for business activities and security problems have become increasingly difficult. This paper proposes a improved access control model for access control enforcement in enterprise environments through the integration of the temporal constraint character of the GT-RBAC model and sub-role hierarchies concept. The proposed model, called Extended GT-RBAC(Extended Generalized Temporal Role Based Access Control) Model, supports characteristics of GTRBAC model such as of temporal constraint, various time-constrained cardinality, control now dependency and separation of duty constraints(SoDs). Also it supports unconditional inheritance based on the degree of inheritance and business characteristics by using sub-roles hierarchies in order to allow expressing access control policies at a finer granularity in corporate enterprise environments.

  • As XML is recognized as a prevalent standard for document representation and exchange in the Internet, the need for security of XML becomes very important issue. Until now researches on XML security have been focused on confidentiality or integrity like encryption and digital signature technology. But, as XML data becomes more massive and complicated, it requires managerial security that decided access permit or deny by the authority oi user who is using the XML data. Thus it requires models and mechanisms enabling the specification and enforcement of access control policies for XML documents. In this paper, we suggest the new access control model and mechanism that separate XML documents by access level, assign roles to each user by applying Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and perform access control to specific documents by encrypting each section with roles. The method, we suggested, has an advantage that it does not need to update the whole keys used in encryption process by updating only the relations between appropriate secure layers.

  • This paper implements Multiple User Authentication System to which the system authenticating with password only has been upgraded. The 4-staged authentication including user ID, password, smart card and access control information, etc. is used at the suggested Multiple User Authentication System. The user authentication system that this paper suggests has been developed based on SecuROS/FreeBSD with the function of access control added to FreeBSD kernel. It provides both the function to limit accost range to the system to each user and the function to check that when inputting important information the demand is the one if the system ; thus, the reliability becomes increased. In the SecuROS/FreeBSD system, MAC and RBAC are being used. So, in the case of users accessing to the system, the Information about the policies of MAC and RBAC to which users would access is used in the authentication. At the time, the access to system if permitted only when the access control information that users demanded satisfies all the access control rules which have been defined In the system.

  • Many studies have been done on secure kernel and encryption filesystem for system security. Secure kernel can protect user or system data from unauthorized and/or illegal accesses by applying various access control policy like ACL, MAC, RBAC and so on, but cannot protect user or system data from stealing backup media or disk itself. In addition to access control policy, there are many studies on encryption filesystem that encrypt file data within system level. However few studies have been done on combining access control policy and encryption filesystem. In this paper we proposed a new encryption filesystem that provides a transparency to the user by integrating encryption service into virtual filesystem layer within secure kernel that has various access control policies. Proposed encryption filesystem can provide a simple encryption key management architecture by using encryption keys based on classes of MAC policy and overcome a limit of physical data security of access control policy for stealing.

  • As Open Data has been emphasized globally, discussions on data policies have occurred for minimizing problems resulting from data sharing and reuse. This study aimed at investigating policy components for controlling access and use of data and examining similarities and differences of the policy components across disciplines. For the purpose, the study analyzed policy components for data access and use controls provided by 37 research data repositories overseas. These included twenty repositories in biological and health science, ten in chemistry, earth and environmental science and physics, as well as seven in social science and general science. The analysis showed that common policy components involve copyright/licenses, data citation, disclaimers and embargoes. However, there were differences in diversity of policy components among the disciplines and it indicated that the rationales of access and use controls emphasized would be different in the disciplines.

  • Delegation is one of important security policies in the access control area. We propose a management model of delegation integrated with ARBAC model for environment of distributed access control. We Integrate PBDM delegation model with ARBAC97 model, and suggest integrity rules of delegation for preventing security threats in new model. Our model supports both free delegation for users without intervention of administrators, and controlling delegation for security administrators.

  • Recent studies have indicated that mobile markets harbor applications (apps) that are either malicious or vulnerable, compromising millions of devices. Some studies indicate that 96% of companies' employees have used at least one malicious app. Some app stores do not employ security quality attributes regarding authorization, which is the function of specifying access rights to access control resources. However, well-defined access control policies can prevent mobile apps from being malicious. The problem is that those who oversee app market sites lack the mechanisms necessary to assess mobile app security. Because thousands of apps are constantly being added to or updated on mobile app market sites, these security testing mechanisms must be automated. This paper, therefore, introduces a new mechanism for testing mobile app security, using white-box testing in a way that is compatible with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) working environments. This framework will benefit end-users, organizations that oversee app markets, and employers who implement the BYOD trend.

  • Nowadays, data-based scientific research is a trend, and the transmission of large amounts of data has a great influence on research productivity. To solve this problem, a separate network structure for transmitting large-scale scientific big data is required. ScienceDMZ is a network structure designed to transmit such scientific big data. In such a network configuration, it is essential to establish an access control list(ACL) for users and resources. In this paper, we describe the R&E Together project and the network structure implemented in the actual ScienceDMZ network structure, and define users and services to which access control policies are applied for safe data transmission and service provision. In addition, it presents a method for the network administrator to apply the access control policy to all network resources and users collectively, and through this, it was possible to achieve automation of the application of the access control policy.

  • Since a hybrid firewall filters packets at a network layer along with providing gateway functionalities at an application layer, it has a better performance than an If filtering firewall. In addition, it provides both the various kinds of access control mechanisms and transparent services to users. However, the security policies of a network layer are different from those of an application layer. Thus, the user interfaces for managing a hybrid firewalls in a consistent manner are needed. In this paper, we implement a graphical user interface to provide access control mechanisms and management facilities for a hybrid firewall such as log analysis, a real-time monitor for network traffics, and the statisics on traffics. And we also propose a new rule script language for specifying access control rules. By using the script language, users can generate the various forma of access control rules which are adapted by the existing firewalls.
