Title
Enhancing optimistic access controls with usage control
Abstract
With the advent of agile programming, lightweight software processes are being favoured over the highly formalised approaches of the past. Likewise, access control may benefit from a less prescriptive approach with an increasing reliance on users to behave ethically. These ideals correlate with optimistic access controls. However, ensuring that users behave in a trustworthy manner may require more than optimistic access controls. This paper investigates the possibility of enhancing optimistic access controls with usage control to ensure that users conduct themselves in a trustworthy manner. Usage control enables finer-grained control over the usage of digital objects than do traditional access control policies and models. Further to ease the development and maintenance of usage control measures, it is posited that it is completely separated from the application logic by using aspect-oriented programming.
