Re: [xacml] New issue#1 from "Boolean Policy resolution"


>>...which in the context of granting access is the functional equivalent >>of setting N/A = TRUE. >> >>t + n/a = t >> > > Not so, the semantics is that the policy does not apply. > We are working with a 3 valued logic (4 if we include evaulation error). > > f or n/a = f, (i.e. n/a is not "set" to "true"). > help me understand this, evaluating the following using this logic t AND n/a is reduced to t which evaluates to TRUE. therefore, t AND n/a = t bottom line: if 'n/a' means 'do not consider when resolving' it evalutates to TRUE when used in an AND clause in terms of *functional* equivalency. can you give me an exmaple otherwise? b
