SecureFlow

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present a web-based Work- o w Management System (WFMS), called SecureFlow that can serve as a framework for specication and enforcement of complex security policies within a worko w, such as sep- aration of duties. The main advantage of SecureFlow is that it uses a simple 4GL language such as SQL to spec- ify authorization constraints, thereby improving exibilit y and user-friendliness. Due to the modular nature of the SecureFlow architecture, the security specication and en- forcement modules can be layered on top of existing work- o w systems that do not provide adequate support for secu- rity. SecureFlow relies on the Workow Authorization Model (WAM) recently proposed by Atluri and Huang.
