Using the KeyNote Trust Management System

Overview Using a trust-management system for controlling security-critical services frees the application developer from a number of often difficult (and subtle) design and implementation issues and allows users to take advantage of a flexible, standard, application-independent language for specifying policy.Before trust management, every application had to provide its own mechanisms for specifying policy, interpreting credentials, and binding user authentication with the authorization to perform "dangerous" operations.Trust-management systems provide applications with a standard interface for getting answers to such questions, and provide users with a standard language for writing the policies.
