Abstract

Almost all of the application in World Wide Web and multimedia environments are based on hypertext paradigm. The increasing widespread use of such paradigm requires a security-enforcement mechanisms such as authentication and access control to guarantee the secure accesses to information. The characteristics of hypertext systems such as absence of schema, unstructuredness of information etc., need a more complex security requirements for the distributed hypertext systems. In this paper, we review the characteristics and security mechanisms of hypertext system and then describe problems in applying access control mechanisms to that system. Also, we introduce an operation-domain concept for a security model, and propose a new access control security model for the distributed hypertext systems associated with role-based access control mechanism which is widely adopted in commercial environments.
