Abstract
A method for verifying a set of policy instructions to be used by a policy decision point (PDP) in adjudicating access requests to protected resources. The policy instructions are in the form of Horn clauses or conditional tag-expressions that are validated against a known test policy or desired outcome. The policy instructions are then compiled into aggregate form. When a plurality of policy instructions creates a conflict, the policy instructions are hierarchically organized to resolve said conflict.
