Orchestrating Access Control in Peer Data Management Systems

摘要

This paper describes an approach to establish access control mechanisms in a peer data management system (PDMS). Based on the research on security in Peer-to-Peer networks, we develop a decentralized access control component for PDMS. For this purpose, information resident in local access control components in the peers is used, and mappings between the peer access control policies are established. A client side access control mechanism enforces access rights in the whole PDMS.
