Managing enterprise authentication and authorization permissions in digital ecosystem

Intense interactions between resource providers and resource consumers in collaborating and sharing their resources frequently occur in an open and dynamic Digital Ecosystem environment. Such interactions contribute to several challenges in cyber security, particularly in protecting enterprise resources from various malicious attacks. The main challenge that occurs in protecting these resources is the ability to manage multiple unique authorization permissions over the enterprise resources. Unfortunately, the inadequacies of the current security mechanisms in addressing these challenges result in a slower implementation of a potentially highly beneficial Digital Ecosystem environment. Therefore, this paper proposes a distributed mechanism for individual enterprisepsila to manage its own authorization process and resource access permissions, with the aim of providing rigorous protection of the enterprise resources in question.
