The most basic policy consists of a single +such attribute. It will only match keys produced by giving that +attribute (possibly among others) to cpabe-keygen (1). + +Another type of policy consists of a comparison between an attribute +name and a non-negative integer. The following comparisons are +allowed: `<', `>', `<=', `>=', and `='. In this case, the attribute +used must be a numerical attribute and specified appropriately to +cpabe-keygen (1) (see its man page for details). Note that a +comparison with an explicit length integer (e.g., "exec_level >= 5#4") +can only match an attribute with the same length (so "exec_level = +8#4" will match but "exec_level = 8#5" will not). + +Policies of these two basic types may be combined using the the +keywords `and' and `or' (which may not be used as attributes), as +shown in the first example above. The `and' operator has higher +precedence than `or', and parenthesis may be used to specify other +groupings. + +Policies may also be combined using a threshold gate operator, written +as `K of (P1, P2, ... PN)', where K is a positive integer less than or +equal to N, and P1, ... PN are policies. Such a policy will only be +satisfied by a key that satisfies at least K of the policies P1, ... +PN. An example of the threshold gate operator is included as part of +the policy in the second example above. + +Note that attribute names are case sensitive and must begin with a +letter, and the keywords `and', `or', and `of' may not be used. Also, +`&' and `|' are synonyms for `and' and `or'. + +[see also] +.BR cpabe-setup (1), +.BR cpabe-keygen (1), +.BR cpabe-dec (1) |
