Abstract

We study the decidability of the safety problem in the usage control (UCON) model. After defining a formal model, we identify sufficient conditions for the decidability of the safety problem for UCON systems whose attributes are allowed to range over infinite domains and updates in one process may affect the state of another. Our result is a significant generalization of those available in the literature.
