Abstract

One common characteristic of many Policy Support Systems (P S S s) is their dependency on the concept of hierarchy. Hierarchy does not need to be limited to a hierarchy of roles (subject centric) as in traditional Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Instead, it can be applied to other aspects of P S S such as object, environment, purpose and so on. In this paper, we propose a new generalized model for P S S . The model unifies Generalized Role-Based Access Control (GRBAC) and Enterprise Privacy Practices (E-P3P) policy support systems and generalizes their hierarchy semantics.
