Help with Security Programming
Security programming today tends to contain large amount of plumbing code to handle the modeling, management, and evaluation of identities. An identity is the basis of many common security operations, such as authentication, personalization, authorization, and access control. There are a variety of different kinds of identities and ways of implementing security operations on top of those identities. Here are two libraries that help make dealing with identities easier.
Zermatt is a claims-based identity system that focuses on simplifying the use of claims in web services. You can download Zermatt from its Connect site.
LeastPrivilege.IdentityModel is a library by Dominick Baier that simplifies the existing identity model rather than introduces a new one. You can download LeastPrivilege.IdentityModel from leastprivilege.com.
