Privacy Preserving Access Control System

As cloud computing becomes more prevalent, satisfaction of the security requirements in such a computing model such as controlling the access to web services and preservation of user privacy is receiving much more attention recently. Companies tend to implement merely their core business as a web service and outsource the rest on the internet. This underscores the mentioned security requirements in service composition. In this project, we present the prototype of a Privacy Preserving Access Control System for Service Composition in Cloud Computing Environments. Along with controlling the access to resources, this system preserves the privacy of users both in basic web services and in automatically composited ones. Also, if needed, the system automatically initiates a negotiation process with the user about its privacy.

The prototype system has been implemented in form a web app using the Django Web Framework. You can refer to the framework's website in order to learn how to run the apps.
