Abstract

We show how core concepts in access control can be represented in axiomatic terms and how multiple access control models and policies can be uniformly represented as particular logical theories in the axiom system that we introduce. Authorization policies are represented in our framework by using a form of answer set programming. We describe the motivations for our approach and we consider how properties of policies can be proven in our scheme.
