Abstract: Role-based access control (RBAC) models ease security administration and reduce overheads by introducing roles between users and privileges. RBAC provides the possibility to enforce the principle of least privileges that a user should be assigned just enough privileges to complete his/her job in order to prevent the possible information leaking and other wrong doing. This paper defines several concepts to quantitatively measure how well a user-role assignment meets the principle of least privilege and presents algorithms to find the perfect user-role assignment (i.e., without bringing any extra privilege) and the optimal user-role assignment (i.e., limiting any extra privilege to the minimum). The proposed approach for the enforcement of the principle of least privilege is particularly useful for automatic generation of user-role assignment in large-scale RBAC systems.
