Abstract: Constraint Datalog holds an increasing role in Trust Management. We discuss several Trust Management systems and give a description of the environment and requirements for Trust Management. Constraint Datalog using addition constraints and approximation theory provides an expressive semantic with which to describe security policies for credentials, delegations and authorizations. Approximation theory allows halting in Constraint Datalog over addition constraints. We use the decision problem of Diophantine equations to show that Constraint Datalog over addition constraints is complete. Combining these two concepts provides an approximately complete, safe language. The problem of constant additions to closed languages provides reasons for using an approximately complete, safe language for Trust Management. Semantics for the Role-based Trust Management framework (RT) are given in Constraint Datalog over addition constraints including an alternate form of a threshold policy. Advisor: Peter Z. Revesz
