Themis represents a set of tools for managing and enforcing security policies along with framework to create such tools:

• pdp - Policy Decision Point (core component of Themis);
• pdpserver - standalone application server which runs PDP;
• proto, pdp-service, pdp-control - gRPC protocol definitions and implementations;
• pep - golang client package for "service" protocol (Policy Enforcement Point or PEP);
• pepcli - CLI application which implements simple PEP and performance measurement tool for PDP server;
• pdpctr-client - golang client package for "control" protocol (Policy Administration Point or PAP);
• papcli - CLI application which implements simple PAP;
• development tools:
  • jparser - set of helpers to create JSON stream parser;

Themis design is inspired by eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) [XACML-V3.0].
