Abstract

The paper attempts to encourage deeper thinking about the nature of security enforcement policies with the intent of fostering a practical engineering design approach for building security enforcement policy. The paper suggests several approaches to lower the cost of developing security enforcement policies by developing technology to share enforcement policies like open source software, including patterns, isolation of site specific policy and tools to increase the ability of humans to understand the implemented policy. The paper also suggests research avenues for increasing human understanding of enforcement policy.
