Semantic Policy-based Security Framework for Business Processes

Abstract

Abstract. Web service composition and workflow language enable the definition and execution of business process in various application domains. Security is now a major concern for us to implement business process in the context of web service. Meanwhile policy-based approach is becoming popular for the dynamic specification and regulation of web service constraints. We are going to propose a security framework for business process and use policy language enriched with semantics to represent the security concerns and requirements. Furthermore, the challenges will be listed to guide future research. 1
