Abstract

NVe present a formal (niodel-based) approach to describin, and analvsiiiy access control policies. This approach allows us to evaluate access requests against policies, compare versions of policies with each other and check policies for internal consistency. Access control policies are described tising VDIM, a statebased formal modelling language. Policy descriptions are concise and may be easily manipulated. The structure of the VDIM description is derived from the OASIS standard access control policy language XACML. It is therefore straightforward to translate between XACML policies and their corresponding models.
