Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of inter-enterprise transaction authorization, as required when an employee of one organization commissions work to another organization. On receiving an order from another organization, a company wants to be sure that the sender is actually entitled to do so within his or her organization. The MIERA scheme can be used for both intra- and inter-enterprise authorization and bases the decisions on roles. We define an authorization tree for a transaction type that determines which combination of roles can authorize such transactions. This tree allows the order-receiving organization to verify whether the order-sending employee was properly authorized.
