Abstract: Because of its vulnerability to errors and, hence, unauthorised access, assignment of access rights is a critically important aspect of RBAC. Despite major advances in addressing this clearly using formal models, there is still a need for a more robust formulation, especially incorporating strict guidelines on assignment of access rights and how to perform such tasks as delegation of access rights. In this respect, this paper proposes a precise mathematical framework, capable of considering important factors such as the relative security risks posed by different access operations when performed by different users. This is based on a novel concept of a security risk ordering relation on such tasks, to be established by a detailed independent risk assessment process. In the case of lack of information on security risks, the approach makes conservative assumptions, thus forcing the security analyst to re-assess such situations if he disagrees with this default interpretation. The risk ordering relation is central to a security-orientated definition of role hierarchies and a security-risk minimising strategy to role delegation. (More)
