Access Control Designer is a universal modular tool for visually designing
access control policies.
|
|
The user of this system depicts requirements for the designed security policy
ina graphical notation based on a generally accepted security model. The tool
will then generate a configuration of security mechanisms, which will be used
for implementation of the security policy.
|
|
Simple graphical user interface used to describe access control policies allows
a user to abstract from the specific syntax and semantics of the security
mechanisms involved and allow him to focus on the security policy itself.
|
|
The Access Control Designer controls the consistency of the created policy
by using and enforcing constraints, checking the consistency after each change.
It provides the user with all information about the components and their
relations in the right context and form - it interactively helps the user
to complete his task.
|
|
Modularity of the tool will allow to design security policies for a lot of
various environments - systems needed to have access controlled. Pluggable
module API allows third-party programmers to provide ACD modules for their
systems and so allow thier users to use ACD for designing access control
policies for the systems.
