20、le Based Access Control(RBAC) systems, which use RBAC components defined in INCITS 359-2004(R2009). It is an implementation and interoperability standard intended for (1) soft-ware engineers and product development managers who design products incorporat-ing access control features; and (2) managers
21、 and procurement officials who seek toacquire computer security products with features that provide access control capabil-ities in accordance with commonly known and understood terminology and functionalspecifications. The implementation requirements in this standard are intended tosupport the inte
22、rchange of RBAC data (e.g., roles, permissions, users) and thus pro-mote functional interoperability among multiple RBAC systems.Since best practices for RBAC solutions are not readily available, this standard pro-vides implementation requirements for systems and components that comply withINCITS 35
23、9-2004 (R2009). Additional requirements beyond those in INCITS 359-2004 (R2009) are also included.Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, or defect re-ports are welcome. They should be sent to InterNational Committee for InformationTechnology Standards (INCITS), ITI, 110

39、Functional Specification clause clause 6 in INCITS 359-2004 (R2009) specifies the features that are required of an RBAC system. These features fall into three categories: administrative operations, administrative reviews, and system level functionality. This standard specifies the implementation of
40、RBAC systems. It describes the packaging of features through the selection of functional components and feature options within a component, beginning with a core set of RBAC features that shall be included in all packages. Other components that may be selected in arriving at a relevant package of fe
41、atures pertain to role hierarchies, static constraints (e.g., Static Separation of Duty or SSD), and dynamic constraints (e.g., Dynamic Separation of Duty or DSD). These are defined in Section 4. This standard specifies that compliant RBAC products shall include an audit and reporting function. This
42、 function is not present in INCITS 359-2004 (R2009), but shall be available in compliant RBAC products. This standard also specifies interoperability requirements that facilitate the exchange of RBAC system data between two systems. Interoperability is here defined as the ability of two systems to p
43、articipate in the exchange of RBAC definition data in a non-operational state. To address this, the standard describes options for the interchange of RBAC elements (e.g., roles, permissions, users) and for functional interoperability among RBAC services and applications. The standard recognizes a di
44、stinction between “Business Role” and “IT Role.” Business roles are those commonly found in the business environment, e.g., an individuals role in the organization. This role is not necessarily implemented in any information technology (IT) system. Thus, a business role is a job function of an indiv
45、idual within an organization. IT roles are those roles that are implemented in an IT system. These roles may reflect business roles, but may also be unique to the IT system because of the particular permissions present in the system. IT roles may themselves be classified into structural roles and fu
46、nctional roles. This distinction is described in Annex C. The scope of this standard covers IT roles and not necessarily business roles. This standard is concerned with the implementation and translation of access privileges within Copyright American National Standards Institute Provided by IHS unde
47、r license with ANSI Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-INCITS 459-2011 IT systems. In recognition of the fact that systems and components may not include all features described in INCITS 359-2004 (R2009), the definitions of components that derive from
48、INCITS 359-2004 (R2009) may be only partially implemented in RBAC products. The use of this standard is intended for implementations of the RBAC infrastructure. Role definition processes (role engineering) may be addressed in a future standard. This standard provides a generalized syntax and data mo
49、del for developing use cases for implementation of interoperable RBAC systems. 2 Conformance To conform to this standard, an RBAC system shall comply with all or a subset of the requirements in 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3. 3 References 3.1 Normative INCITS 359-2004 (R2009), Role Based Access Control 3.2 Non-normative 1.
