Semantic access control for cloud computing based on e-Healthcare

With the increased development of cloud computing, access control policies have become an important issue in the security filed of cloud computing. Semantic web is the extension of current Web which aims at automation, integration and reuse of data among different web applications such as clouding computing. However, Semantic web applications pose some new requirements for security mechanisms especially in the access control models. In this paper, we analyse existing access control methods and present a semantic based access control model which considers semantic relations among different entities in cloud computing environment. We have enriched the research for semantic web technology with role-based access control that is able to be applied in the field of medical information system or e-Healthcare…
