With the growing acceptance of XML technologies, XML will be the most common tool for all data manipulation and data transmission. Meeting security requirements for privacy, confidentiality and integrity is essential in order to move business online and it is important for security to be integrated with XML solutions. Many policies require certain conditions to be satisfied and actions to be performed before or after a decision is made. Binary yes/no decision to an access request is not enough for many applications. These issues were addressed and formalized as provisions and obligations by Betti et Al. In this paper, we propose an authorization model with provisions and obligations in XML. We introduce a formal definition of authorization policy and the issues involving obligation discussed by Betti et Al. We use the formal model as a basis to develop an authorization model in XML. We develop DTDs in XML for main components such as authorization request, authorization policy and authorization decision. We plan to develop an authorization system using the model proposed.

In this paper, we present a content-dependent authorization mechanism for object-oriented database systems. So far, several models of authorization for object-oriented databases have been proposed, but most of these models do not support the authorization based on the database content. This paper shows how the traditional content-independent authorization model can be extended to provide the content-dependent authorization using predicates on the values of attributes of a class. The proposed model makes it possible to group objects that satisfy the specified conditions on the values of the objects and to grant a single authorization on those objects. This model supports the negative authorization and provides the concept of the strong and weak authorization to resolve conflicts between positive and negative authorizations. In addition, we address and resolve some of the problems that arise when the predicates are associated with the authorization. In particular, since the authorization operations of the traditional content- independent model become inadequate for our mode, we redefine the semantics of the authorization operations.

RDF is the base ontology model which is used in Semantic Web defined by W3C. OWL expands the RDF base model by providing various vocabularies for defining much more ontology relationships. Recently Jain and Farkas have suggested an RDF access control model based on RDF triple. Their research point is to introduce an authorization conflict problem by RDF inference which must be considered in RDF ontology data. Due to the problem, we cannot adopt XML access control model for RDF, although RDF is represented by XML. However, Jain and Farkas did not define the authorization propagation over the RDF upper/lower ontology concepts when an RDF authorization is specified. The reason why the authorization specification should be defined clearly is that finally, the authorizatin conflict is the problem between the authorization propagation in specifying an authorization and the authorization propagation in inferencing authorizations. In this article, first we define an RDF access authorization specification based on RDF triple in detail. Next, based on the definition, we analyze the authoriztion conflict problem by RDF inference in detail. Next, we briefly introduce a method which can quickly find an authorization conflict by using graph labeling techniques. This method is especially related with the subsumption relationship based inference. Finally, we present a comparison analysis with Jain and Farkas' study, and some experimental results showing the efficiency of the suggested conflict detection method.

Services over SIP protocol are anticipated to be commonly used services in our usual life. Especially, presence is a new feature in SIP-based services and actually entities' presence information has close relationship with privacy of them. Also, the XCAP-based authorization is accepted as a highly probable method to protect privacy of entities in SIP-based services. However, there is no proposed presence service model except IM service and it's hard to find the reference model that shows a way how we can apply XCAP-based authorization method into presence service. In this paper, we proposed new presence service model which is applicable to the VoIP service. We suggested presence service model which is making use of XCAP-based authorization to get protection of privacy in a organized way and the suggested model's each messaging steps were reviewed using concrete examples. Contributions of this work is in the suggestion of privacy-aware presence service using XCAP-based authorization and its verification of its each messaging step.

This paper suggests the design of MVC model for an authorization tool of UML class diagram. In the design of MVC model, it is designed to define view, controller and model and perform the individual role of each component. The View represents GUI and the Controller is responsible for data input and output and the Model is to handle the business logic. The MVC model design for an authorization tool of class diagram gives the role independently and tries to be flexible with system by dividing into the suitable features of each component.

In the rapidly changing e-business environment, organizations need to share information, process business transactions, and enhance collaborations with relevant entities by taking advantage of the various technologies. However, there are always the security issues that need to be handled in order for the e-business operations to be run efficiently. In this research, we suggest the new security authorization model for safety flexible supporting the needs of e-business (e-marketplace) in an organization. This proposed model provides the scalable of access control policy among multi-domains, and preservation of flexible authorization management in distributed system environments. For servers to take the access control policy and enforcement decisions, we also describe the feasible authorization architecture is concerned with how they might seek advice and guideline from formal access control model.

In next generation wireless networks, an application must be capable of rating service information in real-time and prior to initiation of the service it is necessary to check whether the end user's account provides coverage for the requested service. However, to provide prepaid services effectively, credit-control should have minimal latency. In an endeavor to support real-time credit-control for Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), we design an implementation architecture model of credit-control authorization. The proposed integrated model combines a typical credit-control authorization procedure into the MIPv6 authentication procedure. We implement it on a single server for minimal latency. Thus, the server can perform credit-control authorization and MIPv6 authentication simultaneously. Implementation details are described as software blocks and units. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed model. latency of credit-control authorization is measured according to various Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication mechanisms. The performance results indicate that the proposed approach has considerably low latency compared with the existing separated models, in which credit-control authorization is separated from the MIPv6 authentication.

In this paper, we design an authorization policy module which provides the safty and reliable authorization of the user to provide the resolution for authorization in distributed environments. PKI have been utilized much by an information security-based structure for Internet electronic commerce, it is developing X.509-based in various application field such as a network security. Especially, it provides good resolution for the authentication of the user in the situation not to meet each other, but it is not enough to provide the resolution of the authorization in distributed computing environments. In this paper, We provide AAS model, which can be used distributed resources by distributed users, and design AAS model which is an authorization policy module in the Linux-based Apache Web server.

The Hippocratic database model recently proposed by Agrawal et al. incorporates privacy protection capabilities into relational databases. Since the Hippocratic database is based on the relational database, it needs extensions to be adapted for XML databases. In this paper, we propose the Hippocratic XML database model, an extension of the Hippocratic database model for XML databases and present an efficient access control mechanism under this model. In contrast to relational data, XML data have tree-like hierarchies. Thus, in order to manage these hierarchies of XML data, we extend and formally define such concepts presented in the Hippocratic database model as privacy preferences, privacy policies, privacy authorizations, and usage purposes of data records. Next, we present a new mechanism, which we call the authorization index, that is used in the access control mechanism. This authorization index, which is Implemented using a multi-dimensional index, allows us to efficiently search authorizations implied by the authorization granted on the nearest ancestor using the nearest neighbor search technique. Using synthetic and real data, we have performed extensive experiments comparing query processing time with those of existing access control mechanisms. The results show that the proposed access control mechanism improves the wall clock time by up to 13.6 times over the top-down access control strategy and by up to 20.3 times over the bottom-up access control strategy The major contributions of our paper are 1) extending the Hippocratic database model into the Hippocratic XML database model and 2) proposing an efficient across control mechanism that uses the authorization index and nearest neighbor search technique under this model.
