Top 8 Python access-control Projects

  • OPAL

    Policy and data administration, distribution, and real-time updates on top of Policy Agents (OPA, Cedar, ...) (by permitio)

    • Project mention: 45 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Modeling Authorization | dev.to | 2024-05-09

    This can be achieved by using tools like Open Policy Administration Layer (OPAL), which helps keep your authorization layer updated in real-time with data and policy updates. This OSS includes two important features:

  • pycasbin

    An authorization library that supports access control models like ACL, RBAC, ABAC in Python

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • FreeIPA

    Mirror of FreeIPA, an integrated security information management solution

    • Project mention: FreeIPA – Identity, Policy, Audit | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-06

  • aws-gate

    Better AWS SSM Session manager CLI client

  • refpolicy

    SELinux Reference Policy v2

    • Project mention: SELinux policies for Alpine Linux | /r/linuxadmin | 2023-10-25

    Distributions often start with the SELinux reference policy rather than starting from scratch.

  • little_brother

    Parental Control Application implemented in Python 3 packaged for Debian and Ubuntu to monitor and limit kids' play time on Linux hosts

  • backbone-python

    The framework for building end-to-end encrypted applications.

    • Project mention: Encrypt. Now | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-17

    It's only impractical if you actually require end users to understand and apply all of these technologies. It's a lot more tractable if they're abstracted away.

    The fact is that developers very (very) rarely have to interface directly with TLS or the Signal protocol, yet billions of non-technical users implicitly use them in our browsers and via Signal or WhatsApp.

    In my view, the challenge in the adoption of secure/private-by-design tech is the simplicity and usability of the interfaces and the capabilities these tools provide.

    We need secure tools to compete on capability in order to garner mass usage. Without (significant) feature superiority there's little reason for users to make the switch. I'm actively trying to solve some of these problems at Backbone [0]; aiming to build a usable, secure experience for end users and a simple, robust end-to-end-encryption interface for developers.
