Distributed Credential Chain Discovery in Trust Management

BIBLIO: Ninghui Li, William H. Winsborough, and John C. Mitchell. Distributed credential chain discovery in trust management (extended abstract). In Proceedings of the Eighth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS-8), pages 156--165. ACM Press, November 2001.

Remarks:

A Practically Implementable and Tractable Delegation Logic

Biblio: N. Li, B. Grosof, and J. Feigenbaum, "A Practically Implementable and Tractable Delegation Logic," to appear in Proceedings of the 2000 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy.

Remarks:

• Good writing
• Based on plain datalog
• Uses OLP inference engines
• Discusses tractability
• NO DISCUSSION of constraints or CDBs

Understanding Trust Management Systems

Biblio: Weeks, S., Understanding Trust Management Systems, IEEE, 2001 http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/weeks01understanding.html

Remarks:

• This may be a good read for mathematical understanding of TM systems in general, but probably doesn't relate much to what I am doing.

KeyNote: Trust Management for Public-Key Infrastructures

Biblio: Matt Blaze, Joan Feigenbaum, and Angelos D. Keromytis. KeyNote: Trust management for publickey infrastructures. In Proc. Cambridge 1998 Security Protocols International Workshop, pages 59--63, 1998.

Remarks:

• One of the first TM papers. Worth reading for back ground on KeyNote

Fast access control decisions from delegation certificate databases

Biblio: Tuomas Aura. Fast access control decisions from delegation certicate databases. In Proceedings of 3rd Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy ACISP '98, volume 1438 of LNCS, pages 284295, Brisbane, Australia, July 1998. Springer Verlag.

Remarks:

• Interesting only from the standpoint of chain discovery.
• 9 citations though...

SDSI A Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure

Biblio: R. L. Rivest and B. Lampson. SDSI --- A Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure. Version 1.1, at http://theory. lcs.mit.edu/rivest/sdsi11.html, October 2, 1996

Remarks:

• Predecessor of SPKI/SPSI

dRBAC: Distributed Role-based Access Control for Dynamic Coalition Environments

Biblio: Eric Freudenthal, Tracy Pesin, Lawrence Port, Edward Keenan, and Vijay Karamcheti. dRBAC: Distributed Role-Based Access Control for Dynamic Coalition Environments (TR2001-819). In Proceedings of the Twenty-second IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS), Vienna, Austria, 2002.

Remarks:

• The latest on dRBAC (Distributed Role-Based Access Control)
• Abstract makes a good differentiation between it and other RT-systems.
• More concerned with discovery than with expressiveness.

Towards Practical Automated Trust Negotiation

Biblio: William H. Winsborough and Ninghui Li. Towards practical automated trust negotiation. To appear in IEEE 3rd Intl. Workshop on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks (Policy 2002).

Remarks:

• Contains information about RT0 ...
• Discusses the NEEDS OFF EXPRESSING some policies
• Discusses the possibility of sensitive information on certificates.
• Discusses ATN automated trust negotiation

REFEREE: Trust Management for Web Applications

Biblio: Y.-h. Chu, J. Feigenbaum, B. LaMacchia, P. Resnick, and M. Strauss, "REFEREE: Trust Management for Web Applications," submitted for conference publication. http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/58910.html

Remarks:

• Under Consideration by the WWW Consortium
• Does not mention datalog.

Remarks:

• 201 Citations
• Probably the starting point for a lot of TM research
• Historical

A State-Transition Model of Trust Management and Access Control

Biblio: Chander, A., Dean, D. & Mithell, J., A State-Transition Model of Trust Management and Access Control, IEEE, 2001

Remarks:

• More about ACLs in TM than about TMs themselves
• Still it's new and from John Mitchell.

A survey of Trust in Internet Application (2000)

Biblio: T. Grandison and M.Sloman, A survey of trust in Internet application, IEEE Communications Surveys, Fourth Quarter, 2000.

Remarks:

• Excellent Background Survey Paper!!!
