%0 Journal Article %T An Extension for Combination of Duty Constraints in Role-Based Access Control %A Ali Hosseini %A Mohammad Abdollahi Azgomi %J International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security %D 2009 %I LJS Publisher and IJCSIS Press %X Among access control models, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is very useful and is used in many computer systems. Static Combination of Duty (SCD) and Dynamic Combination of Duty (DCD) constraints have been introduced recently for this model to handle dependent roles. These roles must be used together and can be considered as a contrary point of conflicting roles. In this paper, we propose several new types of SCD and DCD constraints. Also, we introduce strong dependent roles and define new groups of SCD constraints for these types of roles as SCD with common items and SCD with union items. In addition, we present an extension for SCD constraints in the presence of hierarchy.Keywords- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC); Combination of Duty (CD); Static combination of Duty (SCD); Dynamic Combination of Duty (DCD); Dependent Roles. %K Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) %K Combination of Duty (CD) %K Static combination of Duty (SCD) %K Dynamic Combination of Duty (DCD) %K Dependent Roles %K IJCSIS %K Journal of Computer Science %U http://arxiv.org/pdf/1001.2268v1
