A typed Access Control Model for CORBA
Specifying and managing access rights in large distributed systems is
a non-trivial task. This talk presents a language-based approach to
supporting policy-based management of access rights. We develop an
object-oriented access model and a concrete syntax that is designed to
allow both flexible and manageable access control policies for CORBA
objects. We introduce a typed construct for access rights called
view that allows static type checking of specifications and
show how a realistic example policy is expressed using our notation.
The access control language presented in this talk is part of the
DFG-funded Raccoon project.
