Digital Ecosystem Access Control Management

Abstract:- The newly emerging concept of Digital Ecosystem (DE) has played a significant role in today’s technology, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to adopt Information and Communication Technology (ICT) inside their businesses. DE reveals the opportunities to enhance the productivity and efficiency of each business transaction. Therefore, it will further contribute to the success of the enterprise’s businesses. Along with the advancement of DE technology, security has emerged as a vital element in protecting the resources and information for the interacting DE member entities in particular. However, current developments of such security mechanisms for protecting these resources are still in their infancy. This paper proposes a distributed mechanism for individual enterprises to manage their own authorization processes and information access permissions with the aim of providing rigorous protection of enterprise resources.
