Authorization not Authentication -------------------------------- [](#authorization-not-authentication) This library intends to provide a policy based framework around authorization and access control. Authentication is a [separate concern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns) that has been packaged into a separate [authentication library](https://github.com/Phauthentic/authentication).
