Abstract

With the rapid development of mobile internet, a large number of online social networking platforms and tools have been widely applied. As a classic method for protecting the privacy and information security of social users, access control technology is evolving with the spatio-temporal change of social application requirements and scenarios. However, nowadays there is a lack of effective theoretical model of social spatio-temporal access control as a guide. This paper proposed a novel spatio-temporal access control model for online social network (STAC) and its visual verification, combined with the advantages of discretionary access control, using formal language to describe the access control rules based on spatio-temporal, and real-life scenarios for access control policy description, realizes a more fine-grained access control mechanism for social network. By using the access control verification tool ACPT developed by NIST to visually verify the proposed model, the security and effectiveness of the STAC model are proved.
