Using AOP-based enforcement of prioritised XACML policies for location privacy

International Journal of Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (IJITST), Vol. 5, No. 1, 2013

Abstract: Location-based services have become more and more popular over the last years and allow the tracking of persons and goods. Users of these services often have little control over their private data as it is accessed, processed and stored. This paper presents a privacy enforcement concept that combines a sticky-policy approach with an aspect-oriented programming-based reference monitor. Furthermore, we introduce prioritised policies which allow users to define their own access rules without accidentally generating inconsistent rule sets. For the implementation of this concept, we propose a new XACML combining algorithm, the priority policy combining algorithm. We demonstrate the feasibility and ease-of-use of our concept with the example of a theme-park location service.
