An Effective Naming Heterogeneity Resolution for XACML Policy Evaluation in a Distributed Environment

Policy evaluation is a process to determine whether a request submitted by a user satisfies the access control policies defined by an organization. Naming heterogeneity between the attribute values of a request and a policy is common due to syntactic variations and terminological variations, particularly among organizations of a distributed environment. Existing policy evaluation engines employ a simple string equal matching function in evaluating the similarity between the attribute values of a request and a policy, which are inaccurate, since only exact match is considered similar. This work proposes several matching functions which are not limited to the string equal matching function that aim to resolve various types of naming heterogeneity. Our proposed solution is also capable of supporting symmetrical architecture applications, in which the organization can negotiate with the users for the release of their resources and properties that raise privacy concerns. The effectiveness of the proposed matching functions on real XACML policies, designed for universities, conference management, and the health care domain, is evaluated. The results show that the proposed solution has successfully achieved higher percentages of Recall and F-measure compared with the standard Sun’s XACML implementation, with our improvement, these measures gained up to 70% and 57%, respectively.

III International Conference on Applied Physics, Information Technologies and Engineering (APITECH-III 2021), 24 September – 3 October 2021, Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation All papers published in this volume of Journal of Physics: Conference Series have been peer reviewed through processes administered by the Editors. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a proceedings journal published by IOP Publishing. • Type of peer review: Double-blind All papers came through the basic review which included an initial technical criteria check (paper field, structure of submission, adherence to the submission instructions, English language usage and a check for the similarity rate). Any papers out of the scope or containing plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, were rejected. We used a double-blind system for peer review; both reviewers’ and authors’ identities remained anonymous. The submitted papers were reviewed by at least two experts: one editorial staff member as well as at least one external reviewer. The third/fourth reviewer is involved in case two reviewers have disputes about the content of the papers or the authors do not agree with the review result. The review process took from 7 to 15 days as a rule. The reviews were conducted to the professional and scientific standards. The decision to accept or reject the paper was based on the suggestions of reviewers. Acceptance/rejecting notifications were sent to the corresponding author(s). • Conference submission management system: Conference submission is carried out through the conference management system which was developed by the Organizer. It easy to use, and has features to make it suitable for simultaneous conference calls. More than 23,500 registration forms have been already processed by the system which showed it stability and flexibility.
