    39 In order to assign that attribute to a principal using the explorer, one connects the principal representation (an ellipse with that prinicpal's name in it) to the attribute in question.  The following shows the '''BBNAdmin''' principal being assigned the '''GENI.CTFadmin''' attribute.

    165165When faber receives the candidate graph, it can check the signatures of all the credentials and satisfy itself that the graph is well formed.  (It may need to find GENI's or ACM's public key, or the slice may have included them.)  Faber's only credential fits on the graph and establishes a path from faber to the '''GENI.CTFaccess''' credential.  Faber adds the credential to the message and returns it to the slice.  Once the slice confirms the signature, the two parties agree that faber can have access.

    167171The collaborative process is completely characterized by adding nodes to a graph in a simple manner.  Though the policies experessed by the system are complex, the process of validating any given prinicpal posses an attribute is very simple.
