Sounds great. My title will be "The Polar Policy Language",<br>
and here's a more formal abstract:<br>
<br>
In this talk, I'll discuss the design and implementation of Polar,<br>
a declarative policy language aimed at solving complex authorization<br>
problems. A Polar interpreter forms the core of oso, an open source<br>
authorization engine that you can embed in your application. Polar<br>
rules can access application instances and specialize on (multiple)<br>
application-defined classes, which allows policies to be cleanly<br>
separated from application code but still have direct access to the<br>
data needed to make authorization decisions. Applications in a variety<br>
of languages (currently Python, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, and Rust)<br>
are supported by a shared core, written in Rust, together with<br>
a host-language library that communicates with the core over an<br>
event-based FFI.<br>
