A Network Access Control Architecture Using State-Transfer-Based Dynamic Policy

The access control architecture using state-transfer-based dynamic policy is proposed to make access control more flexible and dynamic. This architecture can dynamically change the policy according to a state-transfer composed of a previous state and a current state. It can indicate the tendency of the system by using both previous and current information in order to decide a more appropriate policy to the current system and future condition. And there are two steps in this dynamic policy method, one is deciding a partial-state and the other one is deciding a state, two dynamic policy decision layers are included into this architecture in order to manage these two steps.
