Authorisation session management in on-demand resource provisioning in collaborative applications

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Extending Resource Access in Multi-Provider Networks Using Trust Management

“…However, they do not investigate authorization process in case of non preregistered users, that, instead, is addressed in this work as a result of one-step decision-making process prior the effective access to resource. Nevertheless, the proposed authorization mechanisms can supplement the one proposed in [14,15] for the generation and delivery of the token to verify if it can be granted to the requesting user.…”

“…The SE Web Service embeds the RPM, that is the network resource provisioning engine designed and implemented for optical transport network presented in [14]. The WSDL file describing the methods provided by this service is exposed at a given EPR (EndPointReference) and allows possible users to develop their clients to interact with the SE, provided that they add their RTML credentials in the request.…”

“…In [14,15], the access control issue is tackled within the context of on-demand network resource provisioning in a multi-domain scenario for the benefit of grid applications. In this works, the focus is on per-session authorization and security context management assuring to be consistent across domains (i.e., spatial consistency) and between the resource provisioning and access phases (i.e., temporal consistency) thanks to the use of a token mechanisms.…”
