Synopsis

This application is a generic Application Programming Interface (API) for manipulating access control policy based on Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC). Our API follows a functional specification of ABAC, and aims to abstract away implementation details of access control engines, providing an effector that can be integrated into a self-adaptation approach.

Motivation

Insiders pose a great threat to organizations due to their capacity of exploiting privileged access for inappropriate gain. Traditional access control solutions are not able to deal with insiders, and some solutions apply concepts of self-adaptation to handle such problems. Existing work has been focused on detecting or how to respond to a detected insider. However, in order to allow the dynamic adaptation of access control policies, it is necessary to clearly specify what modification actions can be applied to a policy. Such actions can then be used for the definition of adaptation plans.
