Abstract

Digital evidence is content that must be protected against access and use by parties who should not have the authority to do so. Some protection parameters for access to digital evidence must be implemented to ensure its integrity and authenticity. Access to digital evidence is not enough to be facilitated only with authorization and authentication mechanisms but must also be facilitated with other aspects of access by users according to their level of authority. One approach is to use the concept of access control. The study of access control to digital evidence is essential. However, studies on this matter are still limited. Among the many access control models, the application of access control based on attribute variations is a concept that can be applied to the context of access to digital evidence. This paper discusses policy design and modeling using attribute-based access control (ABAC) with four attributes: subject, resource, action, and environment. Then, it implements and tests various requests to the system based on attribute variations and possible algorithms. This study supports the security of digital evidence storage systems through access control to the resources it manages using the Policy Statement, Policy Modeling, Policy Implementation, and Policy Validation approaches. The application of the access control design shows that the ABAC concept has been successfully applied as an access control solution for digital evidence stored in digital evidence storage systems. The built policy design was successfully validated using ACPT Tools, concluding that there was no inconsistency or incompleteness.
