RMMDI: A Novel Framework for Role Mining Based on the Multi-Domain Information

الملخص EN

Role-based access control (RBAC) is widely adopted in network security management, and role mining technology has been extensively used to automatically generate user roles from datasets in a bottom-up way.

However, almost all role mining methods discover the user roles from existing user-permission assignments, which neglect the dependency relationships between user permissions.

To extend the ability of role mining technology, this paper proposes a novel role mining framework based on multi-domain information.

The framework estimates the similarity between different permissions based on the fundamental information in the physical, network, and digital domains and attaches interdependent permissions to the same role.

Three simulated network scenarios with different multi-domain configurations are used to validate the effectiveness of our method.

The experimental results show that the method can not only capture the interdependent relationships between permissions, but also detect user roles and permissions more reasonably.
