A Nodejs XACML-like access control policy engine, developed as part of the webinos project.

• Currently works with the webinos-pzp component
• Provides a mediation interface, so that any component may defer decision to the access logic
• Interprets a set of policy rules active on the PZP
• Implement real-time policy enforcement (PEP) logic and enforce the constraints

To compile the policy manager:

Linux/Mac:

npm install

Android:

ndk-build NDK_PROJECT_PATH=. NDK_APPLICATION_MK=Application.mk

To test the policy manager:

Linux/Mac:

npm test
