Module: Access Control (ac)

This is a learning module on Access Control. This learning module intends to provide students with a wide understanding of the possibilities for access control, ranging from a physical reference monitor in the operating system to a logical reference monitor by using cryptography.

The module is part of the Open Security Education project and the maintainer is Daniel Bosk. The latest release can be found under releases. You can safely link directly to the PDFs found there.

File Structure and Building

To build the PDFs, after cloning the repository you must clone its required submodules:

$ git submodule update --recursive --init

Then you can go into the directory of the desired document and run make. In each directory the files are structured as follows:

• <name>.tex contains the main content.
• abstract.tex is an abstract of the lecture, assignment, or similar, and covers the required reading instructions, thus you can include these in a study guide containing all reading instructions for the course.
• <name>.bib contains the bibliography entries, thus this file can be included along with the reading instructions.

To contribute, please fork the repository, make your changes, commit them and then create a pull request in the original repository.
