METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR IMPLEMENTING UNIFIED DATA CONTROL POLICY IN DISTRIBUTED AND PRODUCT-ORIENTED COMPUTING PLATFORMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17936575 titled 'METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR IMPLEMENTING UNIFIED DATA CONTROL POLICY IN DISTRIBUTED AND PRODUCT-ORIENTED COMPUTING PLATFORMS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for implementing unified data control policies in a distributed and product-oriented computing platform with distributed data service clusters and a centralized policy information repository.

• Distributed data service clusters are associated with distributed policy decision objects and distributed policy enforcement objects.
• The distributed policy decision object generates control policy evaluation responses to evaluation requests.
• Example methods for generating policy information objects are provided.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in industries such as cybersecurity, data management, cloud computing, and IoT devices.

Problems Solved

1. Ensuring consistent data control policies across a distributed computing platform. 2. Efficiently managing and enforcing control policies in a complex network environment.

Benefits

1. Centralized policy information repository for easy management. 2. Enhanced security and compliance with unified data control policies. 3. Scalable solution for large distributed systems.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing data security and compliance in cloud computing services.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of distributed policy enforcement mechanisms in network security systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle conflicts between different control policies in a distributed environment?

The abstract does not provide details on how the system resolves conflicts between control policies in a distributed computing platform.

What are the scalability limitations of this technology in terms of the number of distributed data service clusters it can support?

The abstract does not mention any specific scalability limitations of the technology in terms of the number of distributed data service clusters it can effectively manage.

Original Abstract Submitted

Various examples herein described are directed to methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for implementing unified data control policies in a distributed and product-oriented computing platform that includes a plurality of distributed data service clusters and a centralized policy information repository. In some examples, the distributed data service cluster is associated with a distributed policy decision object and one or more distributed policy enforcement objects. In some examples, the distributed policy decision object generates control policy evaluation responses in response to control policy evaluation requests. Additional example embodiments provide, such as but not limited to, example methods for generating policy information objects.
