ADQL: A Flexible Access Definition and Query Language to Define Access Control Models

Abstract

We suggest a full specified formal language, the Access Definition and Query Language (ADQL). It has been designed to define access control models, facts, policies, and queries. ADQL, therefore, has the features of a meta language: It can be configured to act like known access control models e.g. as Bell-LaPadula, RBAC and its extensions and applications (e.g. SAP R/3), but also it can implement new models. Because of this, ADQL is highly flexible. Nevertheless, ADQL is not only a meta-language, but also allows to define facts, policies and queries. It has been implemented as a software service. It can be used as external authorization component for other applications and services. Through its flexibility many access control models can be supported.
