ACME (Access Control Mechanisms Evaluator) allows evaluating the performance of access control enforcement mechanisms (e.g., OPA, XACML and CryptoAC) through the simulated execution of realistic workflows. ACME is usually used in combination with ACE.
The design of ACME was firstly described in the (yet to be published) article "A Simulation Framework for the Experimental Evaluation of Access Control Enforcement Mechanisms based on Business Processes". Please see the dedicated branch for replicating the experiments presented in the article.
Important - ACME is still experimental and under active development; we welcome your interest and really encourage you to reach out to the developers at
