Abstract

In workflow environments, access control is an important issue of security. Especially, a suitable access control model to meet the special secure requirements is needed. In this paper, we present a formal model, called RTFW, which allows for some ubiquitous problems in workflow environments, such as separation of duty and dynamic authorization, combining the notions of role-- based access control (RBAC) and task-based access control (TBAC) models. Furthermore, we describe how to design and implement its prototype system and discuss some key issues and challenges.
