Applying OM-AM Reference to an ABAC Model for Securing Cloud-Enabled Internet of Things

Abstract

Security and privacy are the main challenges in the internet of things (IoT) environment. With devices are interconnected and connected to the internet in this open environment, unauthorized alteration, access to confidential data, or even denial of service frequently occurr. To address those vulnerabilities, it is necessary to implement an access. Previous research shows that OM-AM is appropriate for architecture handling security problems in a dynamic environment such as IoT. This framework comprises four layers, i.e. objective, model, architecture and mechanism. Our contribution consists in applying OM-AM to an Attribute-based access control (ABAC) model to protect IoT device ‘data in cloud resources.
