A Contextual Privacy-Aware Access Control Model for Network Monitoring Work Ows: Work in Progress

Network monitoring activities are surrounded by serious privacy implications. The inherent leakage-proneness is harshened due to the increasing complexity of the monitoring procedures and infrastructures, that may include multiple traffic observation points, distributed mitigation mechanisms and even inter-operator cooperation. In this paper, the authors report a work in progress policy model that aims at addressing these concerns, by verifying access requests from network monitoring work flows, with privacy features already contained since their specification phase. They survey related work, outline some of their limitations, and describe an early version of their proposal.
