Compliance checking for usage-constrained credentials in trust negotiation systems
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
We propose an approach to placing usage-constraints on RT credentials; issuers specify constraints by designing non-deterministic finite automata. We show by examples that this approach can express constraints of practical ...
