Abstract

For an efficient role based access control using attribute certificate, we use a technique of structuring role specification certificates. It can reduce management cost and overhead incurred when changing the specification of the role. Especially, the highly distributed computing environments that cannot have global or broad control need another attribute certificate management technique. In this paper, the roles are grouped and made them into the relation tree. In order to be scalable distribution of the role specification certificate, we use multicasting packets. Also, performance enhancement of structuring role specification certificates is quantified in the sense of taking into account of the packet loss. In the experimental section, it is shown that role updating and distribution are secured and efficient.
