Abstract

Access control systems have become significantly more sophisticated in order to meet the security demands of Internet-based computing. Students must be trained formally to deal with the complexity of these modern systems, to ensure correctness and to encourage the use of sophisticated technology when appropriate. In this paper, we describe our application of the Domain Type Enforcement (DTE) access control model to enhance education in this area. We believe its use can significantly enhance education in the fundamentals of access control.
