  • Comparison of Security Models and Security Policy Languages
    (2004) Fallenius, Matias
     Helsinki University of Technology | Master's thesis
    Most software applications are designed and developed without an explicitly defined security model. Rather security features are often implemented as afterthoughts on an ad-hoc basis. There exist various formally defined security models that are similar in many but not all aspects. The primary objective of this thesis is to study and compare a set of currently available security models and security policy languages and to find out the features that are common to all of them. The secondary objective is to briefly assess their applicability to serve as general-purpose security models and policy languages in policy-based security architecture.
