Abstract
Scope: a variety of things are expressed under the heading of access control: permission assignments, constraints, activations, transition, hierarchies, ect. What things really need to be expressed?Concepts: What modeling concepts are available to express these things? Where are we in understanding the usability of these models?Complexity-flexibility tradeoff: How do we make trade-offs between the flexibility of [removed]expressive power) and applying more usable concepts? Can this be measured?Domain specificity: Improving ease of use often involves increasing the level of the specification using domain-specific techniques. What techniques are possible? How can we compare teh effectiveness of these techniques?Composition: How can the modularity of access control policies be leveraged? Is there any modularity?Completeness: How do we integrate access control effectively with support for audit and intrusion detection?
