Multi-tenancy access control strategy for cloud services

Abstract

In the industrial world, the access control is still mostly based on traditional “Role-Based Access Control” for cloud services. Cloud Computing United Open Laboratory in Chengdu University of Information Technology develops “the large virtualization infrastructure platform for cloud data center” which realizes access control strategy according to the characteristics of the multi-tenancy. Firstly, the main multi-tenancy access control technology is studied. Secondly, the paper describes the design for multi-tenancy access control strategy, including tags, authorization strategy and property update strategy. Finally, it discusses the implementation framework of multi-tenancy access control strategy.
