Controlling the Dependency of User Access Control Mechanisms on Correctness of User Identification

G. O'Shea *

Department of Computer Science, Birkbeck College, University of London, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HZ, UK

The effectiveness of User Access Control mechanisms is largely dependent upon correctly establishing user identity, and a diversity of techniques with varying degrees of accuracy, reliability cost and convenience to the user may be employed in verification of identity. This paper describes an approach allowing this dependency of the accuracy and reliability of identity verification techniques to be considered and controlled within programmed User Access Control mechanisms.
