The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for selecting policy for compatible communication. Hierarchical policy document data structures represent communication (e.g., security) aspects and options such that lower aspects and options are accessed in the context of corresponding higher aspects and options to define applicable scope. Use of a hierarchical description also facilitates separation of what is being protected from how it is being protected thereby allowing security policy to be considered at different locations of a description document.
