 A policy model for access control using building information modelsNimalaprakasan Skandhakumar, Jason Reid, Farzad Salim and Ed Dawson International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection, 2018, vol. 23, issue C, 1-10 Abstract: Building information models have created a paradigm shift in how buildings are built and managed by providing a dynamic repository for building data that is useful in many new operational scenarios. This change has also created an opportunity to use building information models as an integral part of security operations and especially as a tool to facilitate fine-grained access control to building spaces in smart buildings and critical infrastructure environments. In this paper, we identify the requirements for a security policy model for such an access control system and discuss why the existing policy models are not suitable for this application. We propose a new policy language extension to XACML, with BIM specific data types and functions based on the IFC specification, which we call BIM-XACML.
