Definition

The Security Constraints (Sc-Ct) domain shows the security-related policy, guidance, laws and regulations as applicable to resources. It Specifies textual rules/non-functional requirements that are security constraints on resources, information and data (e.g. security-related in the form of rules (e.g. access control policy). A common way of representing access control policy is through the use of XACML (eXtensible Access Control Markup Language), it is expected that implementations of UAF allow users to link security constraints to external files represented in XACML.

Implementation

The Security Constraints (Sc-Ct) domain is represented by:

• Security Constraints Definition diagram.
• Security Constraints table.

Sample
