Access Control mechanisms are nowadays mandatory to guarantee a minimum level of security in physical or logical environments. Different attributes can be used to grant access to users. In critical infrastructures individual position of users and devices is a clear alternative or complement. GeoRBAC is an extension of the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) mechanism that considers the position as another condition when performing access control decisions. In this paper we propose a real implementation and deployment of a GeoRBAC system integrated in the ICT infrastructure of a port, using OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) set of standards to allow geolocation information interoperability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
