DKAL: Distributed Knowledge Authorization Language
DKAL is a high-level policy language, especially for federated scenarios. It was originally created with authorization policies in mind but it is not limited to authorization policies and can be applied to any other policies. As a part of the DKAL project we developed information logic (logic of infons). DKAL’s world is distributed. Principals compute their knowledge and exchange information.
