What is done • PDP • SWI-Prolog (http://www.swi-prolog.org/) • Credential repository • PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org/) • Request Format • XACML + SAML Profile (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xacml)

Project 1a (2 persons) • PEP and interface with PDP • Component that waits for requests (also from other computers) and forwards the requests to the PDP • Interface between this component and PDP • Translate XML requests into Prolog queries • Return decision made by the PDP to the PEP • Requirements • Format of request (XACML-based) to PEP • Ac: Subj, obj, action, list of creds. • Cred: Subj, Attr, list of creds. • Interface Java/Prolog • e.g., JPL (http://www.swi-prolog.org/packages/jpl/java_api/index.html)
Project 2a (2 persons) • TM Algorithms • Chain Discovery (RT algorithms) • Simulations in Distributed Systems • Requirements • Java interface between Prolog engines • No requirements on the msg exchange format at this stage of the project Reference Ninghui Li, William H. Winsborough, and John C. Mitchell. Distributed Credential Chain Discovery in Trust Management. Journal of Computer Security, volume 11, number 1, pp. 35-86, February 2003.
Project 1b&2b (4 persons) • Integrate 1a and 2a • Integrate the TM Algorithm into the PEP-PDP • Request of remote credentials specified as XACML/SAML requests • Credential Issuing • XACML/SAML
Project 3a (3 persons) • Extend the PDP with a component for reputation-based decisions • Component for assessing the similarity between two concepts • Retrieve similarity credentials from the repository • Implement similarity metrics • Interface between PDP and this component
Project 3b (3 persons) • Design a protocol for the exchange of similarity credentials among peers. • Gossip protocols • Reference • A. Demers, D. Greene, C. Hauser, W. Irish, J. Larson, S.
