FX Policy Decision Endpoint

Go up to Terms and Definitions

Discussion

The FX Policy Decision Endpoint carries policy decision information produced by the FX Policy and Release Node.

The endpoint supports governed access, disclosure, safeguarding, redaction, transformation, release, obligations, audit, provenance, and evidence expectations. It carries FX Policy Decision information that identifies the evaluated information, the requested recipient, the purpose, the decision, the rationale, the obligations, the policy context, the producing Node, the timestamp, and the provenance reference.

The FX Policy Decision Endpoint participates primarily in the FX Logical Policy and Release Plane. It also relates to the FX Logical Audit and Provenance Plane because policy decisions require a reviewable decision context and release accountability.
