DLP-NAC: Multiple Resource-IDs in a single request
What is the best method to satisfy this use case (provided by NextLabs)?  Policy authors need to be able to express that users cannot copy content from resource-id to another.  What is the expected behavior of
 the PDP when it receives an XACML request with two or more subject Resource-ID attributes?

 

 

1.1.1
Prevent sensitive data from being copied from one resource to another

Acme security policy prohibits copying proprietary information from one resource to another.  Alice attempts to copy sensitive data from one resource to a new one she just created.  The request fails.  Sample attributes
 and values are listed below.

 

Resource Attributes

Values

Resource-ID

http://confidential.acme.com/eyes-only.xml

Resource-ID

http://confidential.acme.com/in-the-clear.xml

Resource-location

webserver1.acme.com

Subject Attributes

Values

Subject-ID

Alice

Subject-ID-qualifier

acme.com

Action Attributes

Values

Action-ID

Copy

1.1.1.1 Description

This sample policy can be summarized as follows:

 

Target: This policy is only applicable if
Resource-location = “webserver1.acme.com”

AND Resource-ID contains “confidential\.acme\.com”

 

Rule:  This rule is only applicable if
Action-ID contains “Copy”

Then if

Subject-ID-qualifier = “acme.com” AND Resource-ID = Resource-ID
