Abstract In response to the challenges of generating Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies, this paper proposes a deep learning-based method to automatically generate ABAC policies from natural language documents. This method is aimed at organizations such as companies and schools that are transitioning from traditional access control models to the ABAC model. The manual retrieval and analysis involved in this transition are inefficient, prone to errors, and costly. Most organizations have high-level specifications defined for security policies that include a set of access control policies, which often exist in the form of natural language documents.

Abstract A person’s privacy has become a growing concern, given the nature of an expansive reliance on real-time video activities with video capture, stream, and storage. This paper presents an innovative system design based on a privacy-preserving model. The proposed system design is implemented by employing an enhanced capability that overcomes today’s single parameter-based access control protection mechanism for digital privacy preservation. The enhanced capability combines multiple access control parameters: facial expression, resource, environment, location, and time. The proposed system design demonstrated that a person’s facial expressions combined with a set of access control rules can More >

Abstract As a new form of network, the Internet of things (IoT) is becoming more widely used in people’s lives. In this paper, related theoretical research and practical applications of the IoT are explored. The security of the IoT has become a hot research topic. Access controls are methods that control reasonable allocations of data and resources and ensure the security of the IoT. However, most access control systems do not dynamically assign users’ rights. Additionally, with some access control systems, there is a risk of overstepping other user’s authority, and there may exist a central… More >
