Abstract

Cloud computing's multi-tenancy and virtualization features pose unique security and access control challenges due to resource sharing. Traditional access control models can’t meet the needs of the open, network-connected, heterogeneous and highly distributed cloud computing environment. In this paper, we propose the resource and role based access control model (RRBAC), a flexible Resource and Role based Access Control model for the open and dynamic cloud environment. Different from previous work, our model is more extendable, flexible and adaptive due to the following improvements: 1)It is capable of automatically change the corresponding configurations in order to either prevent further misuse or grant further access. 2) User's authorization, role hierarchy and privilege hierarchy are modified to reduce the complexity. 3) Various access strategies are provided for different real-time environment. As a whole, RRBAC model is more extendable, flexible and adaptive. Our theoretical analysis results show that this model can effectively provide dynamic and secure access control.
