# GenericBreakGlass: XACML Reference Implementation
|
||||
Today’s IT systems implement fine-grained access control mechanisms
|
||||
to protect a companies assets and to fulfill regulations such as
|
||||
Basel III, SoX or HIPAA . In general, access control cannot fully
|
||||
capture all requirementsIn particular, for exceptional situations it
|
||||
is hard to formulate access control policies taking all possible
|
||||
legitimate accesses into account. Exceptional Access Control is an
|
||||
approach for allowing users to override access control decisions in,
|
||||
e.g., emergency situations. Different approaches and techniques
|
||||
have been presented how to allow the user to override access control
|
||||
restrictions in a controlled way, e. g., Break (the) Glass,
|
||||
Overriding Access Control, or related approaches such as Optimistic
|
||||
Security.
|
||||
|
||||
This project contains an XAML PDP/PEP infrastructure supporting
|
||||
Break Glass Access control.
