Policy Based Data Access in Wireless Adhoc Networks

A mobile adhoc network (MANET) provides a communication environment that is characterized by dynamic changes in topology and in the availability of resources. In this work, concepts of role-based access and databases are combined to specify separation of duty (on wireless networks) as required for database integrity. The framework to adapt policy based access control models in the MANET environment is discussed. Given this approach, a system developer can design an authorization model for data access and its transfer, based on roles in an adhoc environment
