There are two philosophies, but not as you identified them. Rather: 1) Identity based access control: Single (user level) granularity access control. Centralized mostly mandatory style of granting. No delegation other than true central administration or proxies. 2) Authorization based access control (capabilities) : Multi granularity access control. Decentralized discretionary style of granting and delegating.
The problems I have with scenario 1 are: a- granularity: User level granularity is simply no longer in sync with the 21th century threat landscape. b- scalability: Centralized and mandatory access control simply doesn't scale across modern day multi-domain environments. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
