Web services are vulnerable to different types of security attacks. The problem of secure access to web-based
applications is becoming increasingly complex. Management complexity arises because of the scalability
considerations such as the large number of web services users and their invocations and the fact that the
access control system should take into account the context. In this paper we describe the architecture of
our TDRBAC (Trust and Dynamic Role Based Access Control) model which is implemented using agent
technology. In fact, this technology fulfills several requirements of web service’s access control by providing
both context awareness and scalability. In order to verify the scalability of the proposed solution, we expose
some experimental results from a prototype implemented using JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment) platform.
The performance tests show that our TDRBAC multi-agent based system meets the scaling requirements of
large distributed services.
