Kolloquium vom 21.10.2003

Einladung zum ersten Vortrag im Wintersemester 2003/2004: Dienstag, 21. Oktober 2003, 17.30 Uhr in der Uni Engehalde, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern, Hörsaal 001 (1. UG) Referent: Dr. Leszek Lilien (Department of Computer Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA) Developing Pervasive Trust Paradigm for Authentication and Authorization Traditionally, authentication and authorization (A&A) in computer systems guard only user interfaces, thus providing only a perimeter defense against attacks. We search for an A&A approach that satisfies the requirements of multiple lines of defense and defense in depth. After reviewing and classifying a variety of security paradigms, we propose the paradigm of pervasive trust. It is analogous to a social model of interaction, where trust is constantly --if often unconsciously-- applied. In an initial study performed in our lab, we investigate using trust for the perimeter-defense A&A model, in which the capability to use trust ratings for users was applied for enhancing the role-based access control mechanism. Dr. Leszek Lilien received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pittsburgh. His research at Purdue University concentrates on trusted computing and computer security.
