Abstract

The Semantic Web aims at enabling sophisticated and autonomic machine to machine interactions without human intervention, by providing machines not only with data but also with its meaning (semantics). In this setting, traditional security mechanismsare not suitable anymore. For example, identity-based access control assumes that parties are known in advance. Then, a machinefirst determines the identity of the requester in order to either grant or deny access, depending on its associated information(e.g., by looking up its set of permissions). In the Semantic Web, any two strangers can interact with each other automaticallyand therefore this assumption does not hold. Hence, a semantically enriched process is required in order to regulate an automaticaccess to sensitive information. Policy-based access control provides sophisticated means in order to support protecting sensitiveresources and information disclosure.
