AABAC -- Automated Attribute Based Access Control for Genomics Data

英文摘要：

The COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated the potential of cutting-edge genomics research. However, privacy of these sensitive pieces of information is an area of significant concern for genomics researchers. The current security models makes it difficult to create flexible and automated data sharing frameworks. These models also increases the complexity of adding or revoking access without contacting the data publisher. In this work, we investigate an automated attribute-based access control (AABAC) model for genomics data over Named Data Networking (NDN). AABAC secures the data itself rather than the storage location or transmission channel, provides automated data invalidation, and automates key retrieval and data validation while maintaining the ability to control access. We show that AABC when combined with NDN provide a secure and flexible combination for work with genomics research.
