Abstract

Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) offers you a modular security framework that can be used to deny or allow access to various objects (files, directories, network etc.) on your systems.

In this second part of a series of 4 Henk Klöpping provides information about RSBAC security models. The first article provided an overview of security issues and a general overview of the RSBAC framework. The third article deals with RSBAC installation and initial configuration and presents examples of the practical use of some of the RSBAC models. It includes examples of the use of the administrative tools. The fourth article describes the new features that were introduced in version 1.2.0 and instructs the reader how to upgrade existing RSBAC systems.
