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.
