Argus Authorization Service
The Argus Authorization Service development started as part of the european Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) collaboration. Currently the Argus project is part of the European Middleware Initiative (EMI).
Description
The Argus Authorization Service is a system meant to render consistent authorization decisions for distributed services (e.g. computing elements, worker nodes, portals). In order to achieve this consistency a number of points must be addressed.
The Policy Administration Point (PAP) component allows to author, maintain and distribute consistent authorization policies.
The Policy Decision Point (PDP) component evaluates the data with the authorization policies in a consistent manner.
The Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) component ensures that the data provided for evaluation against policies is consistent (in form and definition).
