Abstract

Authorization rules provide access control to information system in order to protect the system from unauthorized, malicious attempt. However, authorization rules need to be updated to reflect system and client’s changing requirements. Update causes conflict. In this paper, we propose a new approach to solve conflict by using prioritized logic program. Addressing conflict resolution from logic programming point of view provides a novel, efficient approach for authorization conflict resolution.
