[Verse 1]
Twenty years of learning, XACML's grown so wise
Edge cases and exceptions, nothing's a surprise
Policy combining algorithms, obligations clear
Multi-valued attributes, the standard we revere
Most mature foundation in the access control game
When complexity arises, XACML stakes its claim
[Chorus]
XACML's got the power, two strengths that shine so bright
Maturity and architecture, guiding us to light
M-A, M-A, maturity's the way
A-R-C-H, architecture every day
Twenty years of wisdom, complete design in sight
XACML's got the power, two strengths burning bright
[Verse 2]
More than just a language, it's a blueprint for your dreams
Policy Decision Point and Policy Enforcement schemes
Information Point retrieval, Administration too
Four components working like a well-rehearsed crew
PDP, PEP, PIP, PAP - the architecture's complete
Reference model ready when implementations meet
[Chorus]
XACML's got the power, two strengths that shine so bright
Maturity and architecture, guiding us to light
M-A, M-A, maturity's the way
A-R-C-H, architecture every day
Twenty years of wisdom, complete design in sight
XACML's got the power, two strengths burning bright
[Bridge]
Obligations bridge the gap from decision to action
Log the access event, add watermark satisfaction
Grant the confidential doc but take these steps as well
Enforcement actions flowing like a story you can tell
[Verse 3]
Axiomatics ready, WSO2's in the race
AuthzForce implementations, choices we can embrace
Multiple vendors building on this solid, proven ground
When you need access control, mature solutions can be found
[Chorus]
XACML's got the power, two strengths that shine so bright
Maturity and architecture, guiding us to light
M-A, M-A, maturity's the way
A-R-C-H, architecture every day
Twenty years of wisdom, complete design in sight
XACML's got the power, two strengths burning bright
[Outro]
Two decades of refinement, architecture so grand
XACML's dual strengths help organizations stand
