OASIS XACML InterOp Demo, RSA 2008, San Francisco, California, USA, April 7-11 2008

OASIS XACML InterOp Demo,
RSA Conference 2008, San Francisco,
 California, USA,
April 7-11 2008, Booths 132-136

 

The eXtensible Access
Control Markup Language (XACML) 2.0 OASIS Standard has emerged as a front
runner in solving complex access control problems in the enterprise. Unlike the
approach taken by proprietary access control lists (ACL), XACML is an industry
accepted standard that provides a well defined structure to create rules and
policy sets to make complex authorization decisions.  Enterprise practitioners have wished for
greater interoperability between products that support the XACML OASIS
Standard.

   

At the RSA Conference 2008
in San Francisco,
April 7-11, nine organizations will come together to demonstrate
interoperability of the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) 2.0
OASIS Standard. Simulating a real world scenario provided by the U.S Department
of Veterans Affairs; the demo will show how XACML ensures successful
authorization decision requests and the exchange of authorization policies.
Participants include:

 

.     Axiomatics

.     BEA Systems

.     IBM

.     Oracle

.     Red Hat

.     Cisco

.     Sun Microsystems

.     U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs 

 

The Interoperability
Demonstration will utilize the requirements drawn in the Healthcare industry
based on work done at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, HL7, ASTM and
ANSI.  The requirements include Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Privacy
Protections, Structured and Functional Roles, Consent Codes, Emergency
Overrides and Filtering of Sensitive Data. The demonstration will highlight how
XACML Obligations can provide additional capabilities in the policy decision
making process, while taking the health care scenarios as example. Technical
details of the demonstration, including Interoperability Configuration, Policy
Decision Request and Policy Interoperability, Roles and Privileges Modeling,
Usage of XACML Obligations and SAML Identity Providers will be highlighted. 

 

The demonstration will occur
in Booths 132-136 beginning April 7, 2008 during Expo hours. There will be an
opportunity for the RSA 2008 attendees to interact with the participating
technologists.
