Abstract:
To facilitate the management of permissions in complex secure systems, the concept of reference models for
role-based access control (RBAC) has been proposed. However, among many existing RBAC analyses and
implementations, there still exists the lack of the evaluation of its impact on the overall system performance. In
this paper, to reduce this deficiency, we introduce an initial approach towards estimation of the influence of the
most common access control mechanism on the system efficiency. Modelling RBAC in Quality of Protection
Modelling Language (QoP-ML), we analyse a real enterprise business scenario and report obtained results,
focusing on time and resource consumption.
