Development of Extended Path-based Role Access Control Model for Web Applications

Dmitry Kononov, Sergey Isaev

Abstract


Web applications security is a complex problem with several aspects. One aspect is access control according to specified security policy. Access control is accomplished by security model restrictions. This research is dedicated to developing security access control model for web applications. This work describes path-based RBAC model, which improves RBAC and allows flexible access control using request path (URI). Authors created guidelines to apply model's elements for real-world web applications. Developing web applications with model described allows reducing security risks.
