Abstract

Access to only authorized resources is provided by access control mechanisms. Active or Event-Condition-Action rules make the underlying systems and applications active by detecting and reacting to changes. In this paper, we show how active rules can be used to enforce Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) standard. First, we analyze different components of active rules and their mappings for enforcing RBAC standard. Second, we discuss how RBAC standard is enforced using active rules. Finally, we discuss how active rules extend RBAC standard to cater to a large class of applications.
