Abstract

Current architectures and data flow models for access control are based on request response communication. In stateful or session-based applications monitoring access rights over time this results in polling of authorization services and for Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) in the polling of policy information points. This introduces latency or increased load due to polling. Attribute-Stream-based Access Control (ASBAC) is an authorization model based on a publish subscribe pattern mitigating these bottlenecks. ASBAC allows the quasi real time consideration of attribute data streams for access control decisions, such as internet-of-things (IoT) sensor data. This paper introduces the Structure and Agency Policy Language (SAPL) for implementing ASBAC. In addition, the paper describes how ASBAC with SAPL can be implemented by applying a reactive programming model and describes key algorithms for evaluating SAPL policies.
