Overview:
This paper presents a new trust management scheme for distributed authorization which can be easily implemented using X.509-based certificate chains, but does not require globally unique role names. A principal proves that he has authorization for a particular action by demonstrating the existence of an acyclic chain of bindings from a specified principal to himself, where the sequence of labels in the chain matches a template. This template is in an easily-computed subset of regular path expressions. The restrictions to acyclic paths and to a subset of path expressions enable us to permit controlled delegation, relax the requirement of global agreement on role names, and provide an intuitive abstraction.
