Authorization - it's not just about who you areDavid Brossard
Worried about who's getting access to your app? Sprinkle in XACML and get access control that is both context-aware, externalized and dynamic.
Need to add more than basic access control to your application? Existing authorization frameworks including their pros and cons, but are typically quite limited. This talk will introduce XACML, the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language, an authorization standard from OASIS that defines fine-grained access control based on attributes. The XACML standard enables much more dynamic authorization that not only focuses on the user but also on resources, actions, and the context. XACML enables policy-based and attribute-based access control.
The talk with then look at how XACML can be used to apply authorization business rules to any Java application and even beyond (.NET, Ruby...). This is known as “any-breadth authorization”. XACML also enables consistent authorization across multiple layers (presentation tier; web tier; business tier; and data tier). It becomes possible to apply the same authorization logic in a JSF page as in a jdbc connection. This is also known as “any-depth authorization”
During the talk, we will look at live examples of applications using XACML. For instance, we will demonstrate the use of XACML and Java servlets, JAX-WS web services, and APIs as a whole. Attendees will also be able to write their own XACML policies, provided they download the ALFA plugin for Eclipse, an add-on for XACML policy authoring.
In January 2013, XACML 3.0 was approved as a formal standard and there are several implementations available (open-source, free, and commercial) for developers to get started. The talk will illustrate how developers can leverage XACML to quickly apply authorization to new and existing applications. After this session, you will easily be able to add standards-based authorization to your application - and simplify your life!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

There has been a dramatic shift in the requirements for providing secure access to applications, web services and databases.Even though many organizations have centralized their web access management infrastructure, many authorization decisions are hard-wired into the application business logic itself. The business logic that makes authorization decisions is not centrally managed, governed or controlled by a security team. To make matters worse, runtime access control decisions are rarely audited. The result is a fragmented policy framework that is difficult to control and manage. External Authorization solutions overcome this problem by externalizing granular access privileges from applications and then centralizing administration. External Authorization solutions can enforce policies based on a combination of roles, attributes, context, or runtime conditions.External Authzdoes for authorization what Single Sign-On did for authentication. With SSO, we achieved the first step of externalizing user names, passwords, and logins to a centralized enterprise-wide system. With ExternalAuthz, we can now abstract policies that were previously hard-coded into applications. The benefits include– enabling your business to adapt and change on a dime as market conditions and compliance mandates require enforcement of newer and more complex policies. Centralizing policy management allows for consistent enforcement, improving security and achieving good governance across the enterprise.
There are three primary business drivers fueling the need to externalize authorization from applications. Regulatory considerations are getting more stringent and complex. Meeting modern regulatory demands often requires enforcement of granular access privileges at application runtime. With role based access becoming predominant, many organizations are now dealing with the challenge of role explosion wherein redundant role definitions can often make it difficult to secure transactions and data on the basis of roles. Finally, a lot of homegrown applications have authorization policies built into the business logic which makes it hard to change policies in response to evolving security and regulatory mandates. This has led to the growth of External Authorization solutions which make it easy to externalize and centralize authorization policy definitions. Solutions like Oracle Entitlement Server allow extremely rich policy definitions to be set up on the basis of context, attributes, roles or runtime conditions.
External Authorization solutions can be applied to solve multiple kinds of real world problems.From securing content to securing collaboration. And For securing privacy and confidentiality of data. Recent regulations such as Healthcare regulations and privacy laws have placed stricter requirements on access to applications and auditing of that access. Often meeting these compliance mandates require fine grained access control policies. In the absence of a central infrastructure to manage and enforce granular security policies, organizations find themselves constantly retooling applications to keep pace with changing regulatory demands. Regulatory demands like enforcement of segregation of duties and Chinese walls can be easily enforced by externalizing authorization. External authz solutions can keep track of entitlement activity in your enterprise. Every time an authz policy decision is made, an audit record can be created that can be later analyzed or reported on.
With External Authorization, organizations can enforce granular security throughout the stack - apps, web services, portals or databasescan be secured by externalizing authorization policies.SOA – ExternalAuthz can simplify and secure connectivity to SOA environments.Data - Existing security tools do not address the fundamental need of protecting the data itself based on the context of the access. Either they provide an excessively coarse-grained control over the data source – an all or nothing proposition that does not work in most cases – or they require changes in all the applications that can access the data. Every application touching the data source requires developers to write custom code to filter database tables and present only the subset of the data that is appropriate to the context of the application, process, and user making the request. External authz can provide only the necessary subset of data pertinent to the context of the access request. Applications- Applications of many flavors – including homegrown, packaged and cloud applications can be secured.Organizations can decouple the evolution of authzpolicies from business logic by externalizing access privileges from applications.
The architecture for the use case review consisted of the following OES components:Administration Console: The Administration Console provides a rich Web based UI for policy authoring and management. It can also distribute policy updates to applications. Policy Store: The Policy Store serves as a central persistent store for authorization policies. This helpsin centralized management of security. Applications can get policies directly from the central policy store. Policy Decision Point (PDP): This is the runtime component which includes the core authorization engine (also known as Security Module or SM). When the SM gets an authorization request from a user or application, it evaluates this request against all relevant policies and gives a final authorization result. As part of policy evaluation, the SM can look up information from external data sources such as LDAP systems, databases, Web Services and other data sources. An SM also includes PEPs (Policy Enforcement Points), which can be used to automatically enforce OES authorization decisions in environments such as WebLogic and SharePoint among others.
Oracle Entitlements Server (OES) can be used to secure applications of all flavors – homegrown, mainframe, packaged, cloud. It provides authorization for a broad set of ecosystems including Java EE, Java SE, .NET, content management systems and databases. OES provides a rich hierarchical policy model based on the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) standards.OES allows both static and dynamic assignment of Applications Roles based on policy. In dynamic role mapping, roles are assigned on an as needed basis depending on the action initiated by the user. For example, the role of Fund Manager should be granted to a person only on certain funds. They come into existence when an authorization request is made and they are destroyed once a decision is computed. OES provides sophisticated facilities to accurately control role assignments based on the contextBusiness roles are often structured hierarchically. Employees in higher positions are automatically granted privileges of people in their reporting hierarchy. To model these real world relationships OES supports role inheritance.OES can also be used to enforce SoD checks. There may be a need to ensure that certain users cannot perform tasks that might establish a conflict of interest (e.g. Financial Analyst making trades on the company they are covering). It also help establish how certain tasks should be given to certain users only (e.g. delegated administration). These policies are intended to make sure that only the correct user is doing the correct thing.OES can also enforce policies based on context or runtime conditions. For example, you may to change what an application allows a user to do based upon time of day or business conditions. Also there may be policies that dictate how an application carries out an activity (e.g. more than just a grant/deny decision for a piece of functionality).And OES integrates easily with LDAP based directories for sourcing identity attributes.
In enterprises, most data originates from a database, flows through various service tiers and is finally rendered by the UI. Securing data at the source ensures that information does not leak. OES supports data redaction filters in the data tier as well as in the business tier.Sometimes information stored in a database is extremely sensitive and extensive checks need to be done irrespective of the application. For example, credit card numbers and passwords should only be shared on a need to know basis. In these situations it may be desirable to enforce restrictions from within the Database itself. OES can be used to do Row and Column level filtering based on standards based authorization policies. Because this filtering is done within the database, security policies will be enforced irrespective of the application. This solution is also useful with legacy applications which cannot externalize authorization. And OES integrates easily with most major databases.
Content Management Servers such as SharePoint provide excellent facilities for storing, retrieving and sharing documents. They often come with standard facilities to secure documents. OES can extend these simple security models with sophisticated RBAC and ABAC based models. For example, a policy such as “Only employees with clearance level 4 can view confidential documents” can be easily implemented using OES policy constraints. SharePoint serves as both a portal and document repository. OES provides OOTB policy enforcementPoints (PEPs) for securing SharePoint Sites, URLs, Pages, Portlets, Web Parts, page contents and documents. An OES HTTP module secures Web pages and the OES Web Control secures Web Parts. In addition OES provides an authorization tag library which allows conditional execution of code and custom UI rendering.This allows you to gain control of prolific use of SharePoint in your organization. It also allows you to lock down information hosted in SharePoint to a very granular level. It allows you to protect web parts, pages, list items – any user information that can be rendered can protected with OES. It is wellintegrated with Active Directory and can naturally reuse the information stored in AD.
OES integrates easily with XML gateways to help simplify and secure connectivity to SOA environments. OES is natively integrated with Oracle Enterprise Gateway, the recently launched Oracle XML Gateway Product. OES Security Modules are embedded within OEG. This can help enforce granular security for SOA environments. For instance, you can now enforce security policies for web services based on the content of SOAP headers and attribute information. This makes it easier to enforce policies based on time of day, client IP etc. Policies can be setup to redact confidential information from web service responses.OES supports most web services message standards including SOAP, REST, and JMS.
