Abstract

The design of effective access control models, to meet the unique challenges posed by the web services paradigm, is a current research focus. Despite recent advances in this field, solutions are generally limited to controlling access to single operations of request-response nature. To ensure that a service is used appropriately, message exchanges can be grouped into conversations consisting of related messages that are governed by sequence constraints. Towards addressing the security of message exchanges, this paper describes an access control model for web services conversations. A trust and context aware access control model is presented that promotes the seamless execution of operations contained by web services conversations.
