A conversation with Rajiv Gupta about fine-grained access control

Joining me for today's podcast is Rajiv Gupta, CEO of Securent. His new company, which has been operating in stealth mode for a couple of years and just announced itself today, is focused on the thorny problem of fine-grained access control. In this conversation we discuss the role of XACML, the Extensible Access Control Markup Language; we talk about how to wrap or intercept legacy security policies in order to hoist them out of application logic and place them in the network where they belong; and we explore the relationship between fine-grained security which focuses on individual resources, and coarse-grained security which deals with users and roles.
