#XACML v3.0 Related and Nested Entities Profile Version 1.0 Committee Specification 01 is published
OASIS is pleased to announce the approval and publication of a new Committee Specification by the members of the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) TC:
XACML v3.0 Related and Nested Entities Profile Version 1.0
Committee Specification 01
25 October 2015
Overview:
It is not unusual for access control policy to be dependent on attributes that are not naturally properties of the access subject or resource, but rather are properties of entities that are related to the access subject or resource. This profile defines the means to reference such attributes from within XACML policies for processing by a policy decision point.
Description of the TC:
The XACML Technical Committee defines a core XML schema for representing authorization and entitlement policies.
