The RBAC based privilege management for authorization of wireless networks

M-commerce have grown rapidly, it is very important to determine whether an identity is permitted to access a resource in mobile environments. In this paper we propose RBAC based Wireless Privilege Management Infrastructure(WPMI) model and Wireless Attribute Certificate(WAC) for authorization in mobile communication. All access control decisions are driven by an authorization policy, which is itself stored in an WAC. Authorization policies are written in XML according to a DTD that has been published at XML.org. Finally we show the effectiveness of the proposed RBAC by applying it to an example of M-commerce service.
