Abstract
Data security access and management may require a server dedicated to monitoring document access requests and enforcing rules and policies to limit access to those who are not specifically identified as having access to the data. One example of operation may include selecting data to access via a user device, applying at least one policy to the data that limits access to the data to user profiles assigned privileges to the policy, encrypting the data, generating metadata indicating the policy and pairing the metadata with the data, and storing the data and the metadata in a policy server.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- selecting data to access via a user device;
- applying at least one policy to the data that limits access to the data to user profiles assigned privileges to the at least one policy;
- encrypting the data;
- generating metadata indicating the at least one policy and pairing the metadata with the data;
- and
- storing the data and the metadata in a policy server.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to
- select data to access via a user device,
- apply at least one policy to the data that limits access to the data to user profiles assigned privileges to the at least one policy,
- encrypt the data,
- generate metadata indicating the at least one policy and pairing the metadata with the data;
- and
- a memory configured to store the data and the metadata in a policy server.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed causes a processor to perform:
- selecting data to access via a user device;
- applying at least one policy to the data that limits access to the data to user profiles assigned privileges to the at least one policy;
- encrypting the data;
- generating metadata indicating the at least one policy and pairing the metadata with the data;
- and
- storing the data and the metadata in a policy server.
