Access Road version 0.6.0 (stable) released

Access Road is an universal simulator of access controls, to improve the design and the audit in the IT security domain.
Two out-of-the-box simulations are provided: Linux Ubuntu access controls, and a Role-Based-Access-Control-model application.

By design, the program may be customized to simulate real software: their structure, their behavior, their objects and their rights.
The GUI is very versatile, to allow both simple and complex simulations and checkings (like the compliance with some security rules).
Detailed texts and powerful diagrams are generated for each simulation. ... read more

This Java software will help to model and to learn about the access rights in complex information systems, with Linux as first target. See http://accessroad.sourceforge.net/home.html
