Access policy compliance testing in a user centric trust service infrastructure

Abstract

Access Policy compliance testing within a trust network helps ensure that the services available to users are reliable, secure and trustworthy. In the TAS3 project Access Policy testing is a vital function of the trust network in which users and service providers interact. User-centric security management is enabled by using automated compliance testing using the TAS3 Audit Bus and OCT components to monitor service state and provide users with a new level of privacy protection in networks of services. The components have been deployed and tested in an employability scenario and present a foundation from which a new level of security for emerging service-based applications can be developed.
