Updated XACML references, including product list

[Anne Anderson <Anne.Anderson@sun.com>]

XACML Community,

As approved by the OASIS XACML TC, I have updated the XACML Bibliography
currently posted on the TC home page to be a more general "XACML
References" document.  As well as articles, papers, and presentations,
it now includes
- related standards (ebXML and SAML)
- Products and Deployments

Although I am aware of many more products, I listed only those where
there is something that qualifies as a "public announcement" - usually a
URL pointing to a web site where XACML usage is mentioned.  I did not
include mentions of XACML products from developer and open source
mailing lists, as those do not necessarily represent announced products.

A draft is attached.  If your company has a product or deployment that
is not listed here but has been publicly announced, and if you want it
listed, please let me know by 31 May 2005 (send a URL).  I will then put
the updated references list into the XACML TC repository and link to it
from the OASIS XACML TC home page.  Corrections and other additions are
also invited, of course!

Anne

This list includes open standards that reference XACML.

• OASIS ebXML: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=regrep
• OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML): http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=security

Products and Deployments

This list includes products and deployments that make substantial use of XACML and that have been announced publicly. Readers should keep in mind that this is an incomplete list of XACML deployments. For security reasons, enterprises are frequently unwilling to publicize the security mechanisms they use internally, and many deployments of XACML fall into this category. In other cases, XACML is used internal to products, but is not exposed, and the vendor has chosen not to disclose this internal use.

By including these links, neither the XACML TC, nor OASIS itself, is endorsing, recommending, or guaranteeing the accuracy of these public announcements or their related products in any way. Neither the XACML TC nor OASIS itself guarantees the completeness or accuracy of the information in this list of products. This list may be modified at any time as further information about these or other products becomes known. Additional submissions for listings are invited by the editor.
