  1. ARBAC99 (Model for Administration of Roles) Ravi Sandhu Qamar Munawer George Mason University Laboratory for Information Security Technology www.list.gmu.edu

  2. RBAC96 (simplified) ROLE HIERARCHIES USER-ROLE ASSIGNMENT PERMISSIONS-ROLE ASSIGNMENT USERS ROLES PERMISSIONS

  3. ARBAC97 DECENTRALIZES • user-role assignment (URA97) • permission-role assignment (PRA97) • role-role hierarchy (RRA99)

  4. ARBAC99 EXTENDS ARBAC97 • URA99 • mobile and immobile membership • prerequisite-based revocation • PRA99 • dual of URA99 • RRA99 • no change

  5. EXAMPLE ROLE HIERARCHY Director (DIR) Project Lead 1 (PL1) Project Lead 2 (PL2) Production 1 (P1) Quality 1 (Q1) Production 2 (P2) Quality 2 (Q2) Engineer 1 (E1) Engineer 2 (E2) Engineering Department (ED) PROJECT 1 PROJECT 2 Employee (E)

  7. Motivation for ARBAC99 • URA97 consequences • Users can use permissions of the role and junior roles. • User become eligible for assignment to other roles.

  8. Motivation for ARBAC99 • Examples that require decomposition of these two aspects: • trainee • visitor • consultant

  9. New Concepts in URA99 • Mobile Users: • user ‘u’ can use permissions of role x and administrative role can use this membership to put user ‘u’ in another role. • Immobile Users: • user ‘u’ can use permissions of role x but administrative role cannot use this membership to put user ‘u’ in another role.

  10. URA99 Model • Builds upon the concept of mobile and immobile membership of users. • To formalize this we consider a role x as consisting of two sub-roles Mx and IMx. • The membership in Mx in mobile where as in IMx is immobile.

  11. Role in URA99 • Definition: For a given set of roles R1 we define a role in URA99 as • R = {Mx, IMx | x Î R1}

  12. User Memberships in URA99 • There are four kinds of user-role memberships in URA99. • Explicit Mobile Member EMx • u Î EMx @ (u, Mx) Î UA • Explicit Immobile Member EIMx • u Î EIMx @ (u, IMx) Î UA • Implicit Mobile Member ImMx • u Î ImMx @ ( $x’ > x) (u, Mx’) Î UA • Implicit Immobile Member ImIMx • u Î ImIMx @ ( $x’ > x) (u, IMx’) Î UA

  13. Precedence Rule in URA99 • URA99 allows a user to have all four kinds of memberships in a role at the same time. • only one will be effective by the following strict precedence rule • EMx > EIMx > ImMx > ImIMx

  14. Inheritance of Mobility and Immobility X2 X3 X1 X1 X3 X2 X1 X2 Divergent Multiple Single

  15. Prerequisite condition for URA99 Grant Model • URA97 prerequisite condition is quite straight forward. • In URA99 it is evaluated for a user u by interpreting x to be true if • u Î EMx Ú ( u Î ImMx Ù u Ï EIMx) and Øx to be true if • u ÏEMx Ù uÏEIMx Ù uÏImMx Ù uÏImIMx

  16. Can-assign relations for URA99 Grant Model • Assignment as Mobile membership is authorized by • can-assign-M Í AR ´ CR ´ 2R • Assignment as Immobile membership is authorized by • can-assign-IM Í AR ´ CR ´ 2R

  17. EXAMPLE ROLE HIERARCHY Director (DIR) Project Lead 1 (PL1) Project Lead 2 (PL2) Production 1 (P1) Quality 1 (Q1) Production 2 (P2) Quality 2 (Q2) Engineer 1 (E1) Engineer 2 (E2) Engineering Department (ED) PROJECT 1 PROJECT 2 Employee (E)

  19. Can-assign-M

  20. Can-assign-IM

  21. URA99 Grant Model authorizations • no implication in general that authority to grant mobile membership implies authority to grant immobile memberships.

  22. URA99 - Revoke Model • URA99 revoke model fixes a lack of symmetry between grant and revoke models. • It deals with revocation of mobile and immobile memberships. • URA99 introduces two relations to authorize revocation.

  23. Can-revoke relations for URA99 Revoke Model • Revocation as Mobile membership is authorized by • can-revoke-M Í AR ´ CR ´ 2R • Revocation as Immobile membership is authorized by • can-revoke-IM Í AR ´ CR ´ 2R

  24. Can-revoke-M

  25. Can-revoke-IM

  26. Prerequisite condition for URA99 - Revoke Model • For revoke model we do not distinguish the mobile and immobile memberships • We interpret x to be true iff • u Î EMx Ú u Î ImMx Ú u Î IMx Ú u Î ImIMx and Øx to be true iff • u Ï Emx Ù u Ï EIMx Ù u Ï ImMx Ù u Ï ImIMx

  27. Relation between URA97 and URA99 • If all users are restricted to be mobile then URA99 is identical with URA97. • This can be achieved by setting can-assign-IM and can-revoke-IM to be empty.

  28. PRA99 - Model • Like user, permissions can also be assigned to roles as mobile and immobile. • PRA99 is exact dual of URA99. • In PRA99 the implicit permission is inherited upwards in the hierarchy.

  29. Conclusion • ARBAC99 is first model that incorporates mobile and immobile users and permissions • Basic intuition of ARBAC97 is not altered • It is a useful extension to ARBAC97
