Attribute-Based Access Control in an Adaptive Hypermedia System

Abstract

Nowadays Internet and web applications handle a large amount of people’s information. In most of the cases, this data is sensitive in security issues and has to be handled with care, but it is also very important to know what the users’ profiles and presentation preferences are, in order to show them what they need and want. Many applications solve the problems of adapting the information to the user’s profile or performing a secure data manipulation, but neither of these methods solves both problems at the same time. In this document we show the development of a project which provides an alternative to separated solutions, integrating two of the best applications attacking by their own the problems mentioned before. In addition, we show an example made to test if the integration was successfully.
