Abstract: In most existing systems, authorization is specified using some low-level system-specific mechanisms, e.g., protection bits, capabilities and access control lists. We argue that authorization is an independent semantic concept that must be separated from implementation mechanisms and given a precise semantics. We propose a logical approach to representing and evaluating authorization. Specifically, we introduce a language for specifying policy bases. A policy base encodes a set of authorization requirements and is given a precise semantics based upon a formal notion of authorization policy. The semantics is computable, thus providing a basis for authorization evaluation.
