Abstract

The current security model for the Windows NT operating system is powerful and offers many valuable features. The User Manager provided by Windows NT is the primary method for the provision of security maintenance. Unfortunately, this tool does not offer several features that would make the end-user's task more intuitive. This paper demonstrates a new technique to support the security on a Windows NT platform. Our system supports at least the following features: (1) An object-oriented hierarchy, so roles and groups can be supported in a more automated way. (2) A more intuitive user interface so the administrative errors are less likely to be problematic. (3) Simplified security management on a Windows NT platform. (4) Avoids unnecessary creation of objects (users / group) and redundant granting / revoking of privileges. This paper discusses a new security model that has these features in addition to those currently available on Windows NT.
