Abstract
As organisations expand and interconnect, authorisation infrastructures become increasingly difficult to manage. Several solutions have been proposed, including self-adaptive authorisation, where the access control policies are dynamically adapted at run-time to respond to misuse and malicious behaviour. The ultimate goal of self-adaptive authorisation is to reduce human intervention, make authorisation infrastructures more responsive to malicious behaviour. In this chapter, we scope and define the emerging area of self-adaptive authorisation by describing some of its developments, trends and challenges. For that, we start by identifying key concepts related to access control and authorisation infrastructures, and provide a brief introduction to self-adaptive software systems, which provides the foundation for investigating how self-adaptation can enable the enforcement of authorisation policies. The outcome of this study is the identification of several technical challenges related to self-adaptive authorisation, which are classified according to the different stages of a feedback control loop.
