一种面向多域云系统的扩展RBAC模型

提出一种扩展的基于角色的访问控制ERBAC模型,以解决RBAC在多域云系统的资源使用约束、策略管理和互操作安全性等方面存在的不足。首先,通过引入容器元素和两类角色基数约束,构建了基于容器元素+动态角色基数约束的资源使用策略;其次,深入研究了多域角色继承管理,提出基于先检测后建立角色关系的域间策略管理函数,并给出各类安全策略冲突检测算法。分析表明,ERBAC模型实现了资源使用约束、支持高效的安全策略管理,提高了跨域互操作的安全性,且性能测试说明了该模型在多域云系统中具有适应性和可行性。

An enhanced role-based access control model for multi-domains in cloud systems

We propose an enhanced role-based access control (ERBAC) model to solve the shortcomings of the RBAC’s resource usage constraints, policy management and interoperability security in multi-domain cloud systems. Firstly, we introduce elements of containers and two role cardinality constraints into the RBAC, and establish the containers + dynamic role cardinality constraints based resource usage policy. Secondly, we study the role inheritance management for multi-domains in depth and present an inter-domain policy management function, whose objective is to check for the number of violations before committing an inter-domain role inheritance relation. Then, various security detection algorithms for policy conflict are given. Analysis results show that the ERBAC model can improve the security of inter-domain interoperation, enforce usage constraints upon resources and manage the security policies in an easy and effective way, which proves to be feasible and applicable for multi-domain cloud systems.
