This Wednesday, I will be talking about rbacDSL at Code Generation 2014, in Cambridge (UK, not MA). I will give an overview of rbacDSL’s features as well as an interactive demo, where the audience may be asked to… participate. Scary, I know. But I won’t bite.
In a nutshell, rbacDSL is a Domain-Specific Language for writing RBAC policies, and ensuring that they conform to some authorisation requirements. It produces XACML policies that conform to the RBAC profile for XACML, which you can then use with the XACML evaluation engine of your choice.
If time allows, I may also discuss future research directions that may be of interest to the audience, revolving around ‘dynamic access control’.
I would be very happy to talk to anyone willing to give rbacDSL a try or evaluate it in any way – and of course, bug reports and feature suggestions are more than welcome – as well as contributions!
As I write these lines, it seems that registration is still open for CG2014, so it isn’t too late to join!
