Abstract

Access control systems are a key component of computer system security. This paper presents the results of an effort to understand the usability of current access control systems. A study was conducted to observe users of three access control systems: UNIX discretionary access control (DAC), SELinux, and a novel access control system, a File System Firewall (FSF), which we have designed and implemented. Several recommendations for improving user experiences with access control systems are presented based on our analysis of the study results.
