xADL 2.0 Security (a.k.a Secure xADL) XML Schema 1.0 This is an extension of xADL to describe security properties of software architecture. It centers around two concepts: the subjects for which components and connectors act for, and the privileges these bricks carry and require to act. The third piece of a usual access control model, the objects, are implicit at this level. The regular objects are not explicitly modeled, because they are generally not the focus of modeling this level. The architectural objects are components and connectors, which have been modeled from other schemas.
