In current role-based systems, security officers handle assignments of users to roles. This may increase management efforts in a distributed environment because of the continuous involvement from security officers. The technology of role-based delegation provides a means for implementing RBAC in a distributed environment with empowerment of individual users. The basic idea behind a role-based delegation is that users themselves may delegate role authorities to other users to carry out some functions on behalf of the former. This paper presents a rule-based framework for user-level delegation model in which a user can delegate role authority by creating new delegation roles. Also, a rule-based language for specifying and enforcing the policies is introduced.

With role-based access control, access decisions are based on the roles that individual users have as part of an organization. In this paper, we propose a new RBAC model that a user delegate a permission to another user with function-unit for practical organization. A function-unit delegation is more safe than existing delegations on RBAC model. And FuRBAC model has a authentication to supervise security problems.

The role-based delegation provides a means for implementing RBAC in a distributed environment. The basic idea of a role-based delegation is that users themselves may delegate role authorities to other users to carry out some functions on behalf of the former. This paper presents a user-level delegation model, which is based on Extended Role-Based Access Control(ERBAC). ERBAC provides finer grained access control on the base of subject and object level than RBAC model.

Computing today is becoming ubiquitous. In such ubiquitous computing environments, entities expect to access resources and services at any time from anywhere. Therefore, the question rises of how to establish trust relationship in previously unknown devices or resources with such environment. After reviewing a model to delegate trust to communicating entities in ubiquitous environment and its security problems, we present a new model for secure delegation over communication entities. We adopt two-party signature scheme as cryptographic primitives. Additionally, we apply threshold cryptosystems to our model for more secure enhancement.

Role-Based Access Control(RBAC) model is becoming a promising model for enterprise environments with various organization structures. In terms of role hierarchy, each senior role inherits all the permissions of its junior roles in the role hierarchy, and a user who is a member of senior role is authorized to carry out the inherited permissions as well as his/her own ones. But there is a possibility for senior role members to abuse permissions. Since senior role members need not have all the authority of junior roles in the real world, enterprise environments require a restricted inheritance rather than a unconditional or blocked inheritance. In this paper, we propose a new role-based delegation model using the role hierarchy model with restricted inheritance functionality, in which security administrator can easily control permission inheritance behavior using sub-roles. Also, we describe how role-based user-to-user, role-to-role delegations are accomplished in the model and the characteristics of the proposed role-based delegation model.

We study incentive structures of public developers and land owners in the process of public expropriations using a sequential game model. In the model, we show that there is an incentive for the public developer to give more compensation than just compensation that are defined by law. Also the model shows that there is an incentive for the land owners to revolt strategically against the public expropriation. Then an ideal authority delegation model is introduced to resolve the problems, where an independent appraiser determines the compensation for the expropriation. In the real world, improving the independence of appraisal process is critical to make the system closer to the ideal authority delegation model. So this paper concludes by making a few policy suggestions to improve the current appraisal system.

RBAC is an Access Control Mechanism for security administration of system resource and technique attracting in commercial fields because of reducing cost and complexity of security administration in large network. Many RBAC's research is progressive but several problems such as the delegation of role have been pointed out concerning the mechanism. It is necessary that a person's role delegate someone with reliability by reasons of a leave of absence, sick leave and the others. But the existing RBAC standards don't give definition of the delegation of roles. In this paper, we propose RBAC model that delegator can delegate subset of role and permission to a delegatee so that more efficient access control may be available.

Separation of Duty(SOD), with delegation, is one of important security principles in access control area. The role-based access control model adopts SOD principle, but it has some problems; SOD concept is inconsistent with role hierarchy, permissions that have no relation with SOD may be restricted, and delegation may violate SOD. We propose permission-based SOD model on role-based access control. We establishes SOD as a set of permissions instead of role level SOD. Furthermore we propose a principle of role activation. It solves SOD problems of RBAC and supports easy implementation of SOD policy.

Nowadays, Computing environment is changing to ubiquitous. In such ubiquitous computing environments, entities expect to access resources and services at any time from anywhere. Therefore, tile wily how to establish trust relationship among previously unknown devices or resources is needed under such environments. In this paper, we firstly review a model to delegate the trust to communicating entities in ubiquitous environment and its security problems(e.g., malicious right-delegation and revocation of right-delegation). Then, we design a new model for secure delegation over communication entities which is based on two-party signature scheme, and implement it.

Web service is defined to support interoperable machine to machine interaction over a network and defined as distributed technologies. Recently in web service environment, security has become one of the most critical issues. An attacker may expose user privacy and service information without authentication. Furthermore, the users of web services must temporarily delegate some or all of their behalf. This results in the exposure of user privacy information by agents. We propose a delegation model for providing safety of web service and user privacy in ubiquitous computing environments. In order to provide safety of web service and user privacy, XML-based encryption and a digital signature mechanism need to be efficiently integrated. In this paper, we propose web service management server based on XACML, in order to manage services and policies of web service providers. For this purpose, we extend SAML to declare delegation assertions transferred to web service providers by delegation among agents.
