What is new?

1. Improved Reliability. Simple PERMIS 1.0.10 is a stable and more reliable release as it has been tested for several months, and fixes all the bugs that were found in v0.1.

2. Improved Functionality - support for XACML obligations. We have introduced a new function in the PBAAPI interface which allows users to get an authorization response containing the authorization decision and associated obligations. The built in policy parser is now capable of handling XACML obligations.

3. Easier to log. Simple PERMIS is now integrated with Log4J. You will find it much easier to produce a log showing you all the run time information. Please refer to Log4J website for how to config log4j to produce the log.

4. Backwards compatible interface. This release maintains interface compatibility with v0.1. You don't need to modify your existing code to use this new release. However, you will need to change a few lines of code if you want to use the obligation related features.

Simple PERMIS v0.1

Simple PERMIS represents the core of the PERMIS decision engine. It provides the core access control service (i.e. access control decision-making). It works in push mode only and the policy is stored in a plain XML file. It does not support X.509 attribute certificates, or LDAP directories. It can be considered as a lightweight PERMIS decision engine with the decoupling of credential validation and policy protection implementations. To use Simple PERMIS, you will need

1. Simple PERMIS V0.1 Java API

2. Simple PERMIS V0.1 documentation

3. Example
