My pals over at the SecPAL team have released a new version of their framework for declaratively capturing authorization policies in large-scale distributed systems (yeah… yeah… ok… “Grid” systems 🙂 This is fantastic work.

They just released a minor update that you should definitely check out. I hadn’t realized that they had created a CodePlex project. Very cool.
