Control de acceso discrecional

Procedimiento para restringir el acceso a los objetos de un sistema basado en la identidad de los sujetos.

El control se denomina discrecional, pues un sujeto con ciertos derechos de acceso puede pasar éstos, quizás indirectamente y siempre que no lo impida un control de acceso obligatorio, a otro sujeto cualquiera (TCSEC).

Se instrumenta para aplicar una política de seguridad basada en identidades.

[Ribagorda:1997]

(en) Discretionary access control (DAC)

A means of restricting access to objects (e.g., files, data entities) based on the identity and need-to-know of subjects (e.g., users, processes) and/or groups to which the object belongs. The controls are discretionary in the sense that a subject with a certain access permission is capable of passing that permission (perhaps indirectly) on to any other subject (unless restrained by mandatory access control). [CNSSI_4009:2010]

(en) discretionary access control

1a. (I) An access control service that (a) enforces a security policy based on the identity of system entities and the authorizations associated with the identities and (b) incorporates a concept of ownership in which access rights for a system resource may be granted and revoked by the entity that owns the resource. (See: access control list, DAC, identity-based security policy, mandatory access control.)

Derivation: This service is termed "discretionary" because an entity can be granted access rights to a resource such that the entity can by its own volition enable other entities to access the resource.

1b. (O) /formal model/ "A means of restricting access to objects based on the identity of subjects and/or groups to which they belong. The controls are discretionary in the sense that a subject with a certain access permission is capable of passing that permission (perhaps indirectly) on to any other subject." [DoD1]
