Implementing RBAC model in An Operating System Kernel

TL;DR

This paper presents the design and implementation of an OS-specific RBAC model called OSR, integrated into the RFSOS kernel using GFAC and Capability mechanisms, with detailed implementation insights.

Contribution

Introduces the OSR RBAC model tailored for operating systems and demonstrates its integration into the RFSOS kernel using novel methods.

Findings

Successful implementation of OSR in RFSOS kernel

Enhanced security control through OSR model

Detailed methodology for integrating RBAC in OS kernels

Abstract

In this paper, the implementation of an operating system oriented RBAC model is discussed. Firstly, on the basis of RBAC96 model, a new RBAC model named OSR is presented. Secondly, the OSR model is enforced in RFSOS kernel by the way of integrating GFAC method and Capability mechanism together. All parts of the OSR implementation are described in detail.
