| Research Abstract |
The safety problem in access matrix models is the one to determine whether or not a given subject can eventually obtain an access privilege to a given object. Generally speaking, unfortunately, the safety problem is undecidable. Little is known about protection systems for which the safety problem is decidable, except for strongly constrained systems (e.g., monotonic systems). Therefore, we propose the Dynamic-Typed Access Matrix (DTAM) Model, which extends Typed Access Matrix model of Sandhu by allowing the type of an object to change dynamically. DTAM model has an advantage that it can describe non-monotonic protection systems for which the safety problem is decidable. Especially, with further restrictions, we can show that the problem becomes NP-hard. In this research we formally define DTAM model and then discuss various aspects of it thoroughly.
