Quotes

Workflow-sensitive Access Control. We present the design of a novel access control model for serverless computing that mediates inter-function information flow as requests are processed. Our approach follows the same design principles as serverless applications, while simultaneously integrating with the notion of IAM-style role-based access controls, thus avoiding the need for a dramatic reconceptualization of security on cloud platforms.
