Abstract
In an increasingly interconnected and automated world, we are dependent on the flow of information between people, organisations, and systems. An appropriate and proportionate control of access to information is essential for the safety and security of individuals, society, and nation states. Significant harm can arise from unauthorised access to, or modification of, information, and in some cases the inability to obtain access when required. The paper reviews current access control models and identifies shortcomings in respect of an increased need for information sharing. It considers the concept of entitlement to information, and the role of rights and obligations. Management of access to information in complex sharing situations is also discussed. The paper identifies several areas where further work is required to facilitate development of more sophisticated access control mechanisms that could better support current and future needs.
