Abstract: Structured document plays a vital role in the information carrier in cloud computing. So apparently, secure access to structured document is a key technology for the quality control of cloud services. However, there is no prior work on discussing access control requirements for structured document in cloud computing. In this paper, we describe the 'live' characteristics of structured document and tenants' diverse action patterns to access structured document in cloud computing. And then, we systematically present the access control requirements for structured document in cloud computing from the following aspects: action-based, control tenants' access actions, tenants' privacy protection, fine-grained, multilevel security, and self-adaptive policies. Finally, we present an Action-Based Multilevel Access Control (ABMAC) model framework to implement the access control requirements. This work will provide a powerful support for proposing an efficient structured document protection framework in cloud computing.
