The specifications of the functions and API for the Trivial Rolebased Authorization & Capability Statemachine are ready for review. This authorisation system is a system that is build up around statemachines representing different types of external entities, that next to state have different contexts in what they can be viewed. The contexts form trinities of bi-directional capabilities that form the basis of the authorisation scheme. The author believes that these concepts, when finished will have a tremendous impact on the way the infosec comunity thinks about authorization. This is a call for feedback, implementation will start shortly, and we find it essential to allow potential users a short period for feedback on design, concepts and API definitions.
