ANSI INCITS 359-2004 etc

[Robin Cover <robin@isogen.com>]

Based upon the INCITS announcement for the approval of
ANSI INCITS 359-2004, I created a short news item:

http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2004-04-05-a.html

"INCITS Announces ANSI's Approval of Role Based
Access Control (RBAC) Security Standard."

Scanning (hastily) the references in this territory it
was not clear to me whether RBAC-based security is completely
harmonious with modern identity management systems, though
I suspected so.  The ACM forum (this year, SACMAT 2004) is
certainly still alive with role-based access control research.

Can anyone help me connect the dots (with a couple
sentences or a couple additional URLs)?  Or advise if the
news item is misleading for any reason.

Thanks,

Robin
