Abstract:

One way to simplify distributed systems security is to have a unified interface for requesting attributes that security policies need. We explore requirements for getting attributes, and examine issues of federated data, trust, and confidentiality. Our goal is to insulate most participants from exactly how and where these attributes are accessed, and to encourage implementation of each feature at the appropriate level of generality.
