RBAC in Healthcare; Break The Glass and Delegation; Access Control
Abstract :
[en] In healthcare security, Role-based Access Control (RBAC) should be flexible and include capabilities such
as Break-the-Glass and Delegation. The former is useful in emergencies to overcome otherwise a denial of
access, the latter to transfer rights temporarily, for example, to substitute doctors. Current research studies
these policies separately, but it is unclear whether they are different and independent capabilities. Motivated
to look into this matter, we present a formal characterization of Break-the-Glass andDelegation in the RBAC
model and we inquire on how these two policies relate. After giving arguments in favour of keeping them
apart as different policies, we propose an RBAC model that includes them
