Semantic Description and Verification of Security Policy Based on Ontology

To solve the shortage problem of the semantic description scope and verification capability existed in the security policy,a semantic description method for the security policy based on ontology is presented.By defining the basic elements of the security policy,the relationship model between the ontology and the concept of security policy based on the Web ontology language(OWL)is established,so as to construct the semantic description framework of the security policy.Through modeling and reasoning in the Protégé,the ontology model of authorization policy is proposed,and the first-order predicate description logic is introduced to the analysis and verification of the model.Results show that the ontology-based semantic description of security policy has better flexibility and practicality.
