In addition to enabling access, database accounts play a protective role by defending the database from external attacks. However, because only a single account is used in the database, the account becomes the subject of vulnerability attacks. This common practice is due to the lack of database support, large numbers of users, and row-based database permissions. Therefore if the logic of the application is wrong or vulnerable, there is a risk of exposing the entire database. In this paper, we propose a Least-Privilege Account Separation Model (LPASM) that serves as an information guardian to protect the database from attacks. We separate database accounts depending on the role of application services. This model can protect the database from malicious attacks and prevent damage caused by privilege escalation by an attacker. We classify the account control policies into four categories and propose detailed roles and operating plans for each account.

A security system in Android OS adopts sandbox and an permission model. In particular, the permission model operates the confirmation of installation time and all-or-nothing policy. Accordingly, the Android OS requires a user agreement for permission when installing an application, however there is very low level of user awareness for the permission. In this paper, the current status of permission requirement within mobile apps will be discovered, and the key inspection list with an appropriate method, when a mobile service provider autonomously inspects the violation of least privilege around financial companies, and its usefulness will be explored.

Role-based Access Control(RBAC) model has advantage of easy management of access control with constraints such as permission inheritance and separation of duty in role hierarchy. However, previous RBAC studies could not properly reflect the real-world organization structure with its role hierarchy. User who is a member of senior role can perform all permissions because senior role inherits all permissions of junior roles in the role hierarchy. Therefore there is a possibility for senior role members to abuse permissions due to violation of the least privilege principle. In this paper, we present a new model of role hierarchy, which restricts the unconditional permission inheritance. In the proposed model, a role is divided into sub roles(unconditional inheritance. restricted inheritance, private role), keeping organization structure in corporate environment. With restricted inheritance, the proposed model prevents permission abuse by specifying the degree of inheritance in role hierarchy.

Recently purpose is used by an crucial part to security management when collecting data about privacy. The W3C(World Wide Web Consortium) describes a standard spec to control personal data that is provided by data providers who visit the web site. But they don't say anymore about security management about personal data in transit after data collection. Recently several researches, such as Hippocratic Databases, Purpose Based Access Control and Hippocratic in Databases, are dealing with security management using purpose concept and access control mechanism after data collection a W3C's standard spec about data collection mechanism but they couldn't suggest an efficient mechanism for privacy protection about personal data because they couldn't represent purpose expression and management of purposes sufficiently. In this paper we suggest a mechanism to improve the purpose expression. And then we suggest an accesscontrol mechanism that is under least privilege principle using the purpose classification for privacy protection. We classify purpose into Along purpose structure, Inheritance purpose structure and Stream purpose structure. We suggest different mechanisms to deal with then We use the role hierarchy structure of RBAC(Role-Based Access Control) for flexibility about access control and suggest mechanisms that provide the least privilege for processing the task in case that is satisfying using several features of purpose to get least privilege of a task that is a nit of business process.

RBAC(Role Based Access Control) has the advantage that reflects the real world because it presents a basic access control model based on user's role in organizations or governments. But in RBAC model, the privileges of the senior roles in these hierarchies are inherited from those of the junior roles, so RBAC model has the privileges problem that he senior are given more privileges than they need. That is, it tends to infringe the Principle of Least Privilege. On the other hand, if we give some excessive constraints on the RBAC model without scrupulous care, it may be meaningless property of role hierarchies. Furthermore, such complicated constraints make it more difficult to mange resources and roles in huge enterprise environments. The purpose of this paper is to solve the problems of role hierarchies such as inefficient role managements and abuse of privileges by using newly presented the backward tag pointer path expression in the inheritance of privileges.

RBAC(Role-Based Access Control) has advantages in managing access controls, because it offers the role inheritance and separation of duty in role hierarchy structures. However, RBAC does not process delegation of permission effectively that occurs frequently in the real world. This paper proposes an Advanced Permission-Based Delegation Model(APBDM) that guarantees permanency of delegated permissions and does not violate security principle of least privilege and separation of duty. APBDM, based on the well-known RBAC96, supports both user-to-user and role-to-role delegation. A delegator can give permission to a specific person, that is delegatee, and the permission can be withdrawn whenever the delegator wants. Our model is analyzed and shown to be effective in the present paper.

For ease of use and access, web browsers are now being used to access and modify sensitive data and systems including critical control systems. Due to their computational capabilities and network connectivity, browsers are vulnerable to several types of attacks, even when fully updated. Browsers are also the main target of phishing attacks. Many browser attacks, including phishing, could be prevented or mitigated by using site-, user-, and device-specific security configurations. However, we discovered that all major browsers expose disparate security configuration procedures, option names, values, and semantics. This results in an extremely hard to secure web browsing ecosystem. We analyzed more than a 1000 browser security configuration options in three major browsers and found that only 13 configuration options had syntactic and semantic similarity, while 4 configuration options had semantic similarity, but not syntactic similarity. We: a) describe the results of our in-depth analysis of browser security configuration options; b) demonstrate the complexity of policy-based configuration of web browsers; c) describe a knowledge-based solution that would enable organizations to implement highly-granular and policy-level secure configurations for their information and operational technology browsing infrastructures at the enterprise scale; and d) argue for necessity of developing a common language and semantics for web browser configurations.

The firewall systems can be installed between the intemal network and the extemal network. The firewall systems has the least privilege, so its does not provide transparency to user. This problem of transparency can be solved by using the proxy. In this thesis, I have designed and verified the FTP-PSM(FTP-Proxy Security Mode]) which provides transparency for the firewall systems and has a strong security function. FTP-PSM doesn't finish its work after implementing a command. Instead, its does several security functions such as user authentication, MAC(MandatOlY Access Controll, DAC(Discretionary Access Controll and authentication of user group. Those data must not be lost under any circumstances in order to implement the above security functions. So, the security against such problems as falling into deadlock or unlimited loop during the implementation must be verified. Therefore, FTP-PSM suggested in thesis was verified its security through PHPlace Invariant) based on CPNlCo]oured Petri Net).

RBAC(Role-Based Access Control) has advantages in managing access controls, because it offers the role inheritance and separation of duty in role hierarchy structures. Delegation is a mechanism of assigning access rights to a user. RBDM0 and RDM2000 models deal with user-to-user delegation. The unit of delegation in them is a role. However, RBAC does not process delegation of Role or Permission effectively that occurs frequently in the real world. This paper proposes a Time Constraints Permission-Based Delegation Model(TCPBDM) that guarantees permanency of delegated permissions and does not violate security principle of least privilege and separation of duty. TCPBDM, based on the well-known RBAC96, supports both user-to-user and role-to-role delegation with time constraints. A delegator can give permission to a specific person, that is delegatee, and the permission can be withdrawn whenever the delegator wants. Our model is analyzed and shown to be effective in the present paper.
