Abstract: The SAVI IAM is an identity and access management system for the Multi-tier cloud infrastructure. The goal of the SAVI IAM is to provide a exible system to enable applications to adopt the cloud rapidly rather than concentrating on a speci c function such as federation. The SAVI IAM distinguishes itself from previous work in three aspects: comprehensiveness, stability, and technology independence.The SAVI IAM is a comprehensive solution for cloud providers. It uses two ne-grained access control model: constrained Role-based Access Control and Attribute-based access control. To address application requirement, it has implemented delegation and trust mechanism to enable administrators to delegate their authorities temporarily to applications. The SAVI IAM is scalable in the sense than it can address huge number of requests by increasing the number of instances. On the other hand, the middleware component is able to cache local data in order to boost the performance of the the infrastructure. The SAVI IAM is built on top of Openstack Keystone v2.0, and supports Openstack, Amazon EC2, and SAVI APIs.
