Software Quality is a major concern when we develop any application. Data
privacy, customer trust, and any long-term goal depend on how well and secure our
application and business success also depend upon it. It involves many factors, starting
from the design phase and can go to the implementation phase. A major part of
software quality is software security. Software security ensures that our software work
continuously and correctly in a malicious attack environment. Authorization is the
backbone of any application and plays an important role in application security. When
a user login into a system, the system should identify how many access rights he has
related to each functionality. It is then the responsibility of implemented authorization
policy to restrict him or her based upon that. We have some existing authorization
techniques, and this paper focuses on the review of authorization techniques with the
pros and cons of the existing approach. Comparison between different authorization
techniques has also been discussed.
