Abstract:
One of the main topics in Cloud computing is access control. Among the approaches of access control in this environment, semantic role-based access control is an interesting issue. In current methods of role-based access control used in Cloud, when a user has no permission for a specific function, its request may be aborted. In this paper, we want to propose a new semantic role-based access control model being compatible with cloud. In our model, a number of functions will be semantically suggested for a user with a certain role. These offered functions can be perfectly used by the user without rejection of its request. In fact, in our approach, by using of two agents called request agent and permission agent, the permissions will be issued based on the semantic similarity between the function asked by a user having a certain role and the predefined functions being in Cloud environment.
