2 #### A Postgres Add-on For Implementing Relational Security Systems
3 
4 Veil2 provides a framwork for the implementation of
5 [relational security
6 systems](https://marcmunro.github.io/veil2/html/ch01.html).
7 
8 The primary aims of a relational security system are to make the
9 management of access to data a seamless, and necessary, component of
10 your application, and to make its implementation as simple as possible
11 and as sophisticated as needed.
12 
13 Veil2 is designed to make the implementation of relational security
14 systems as easy as possible. It provides an extensible framework of
15 permissions, permission checks, and user authentication so that you
16 can start building a secure database in a matter of hours.
17 
18 Documentation is [provided
19 here on github](https://marcmunro.github.io/veil2/html/index.html).

21 ## Getting Started
22 
23 The concept of a Relational Security System is relatively new and
24 little-known. [This
25 section](https://marcmunro.github.io/veil2/html/ch01.html) describes
26 what a relational security system is.
27 [This](https://marcmunro.github.io/veil2/html/ch02.html) describes
28 what is different about relational security, and the fundamental
29 concepts behind Veil2 are [described here](https://marcmunro.github.io/veil2/html/ch04.html).
