DATA COMPLIANCE BASED ON AUTOMATED ANNOTATIONS AND PROTECTION BINDINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012918 titled 'DATA COMPLIANCE BASED ON AUTOMATED ANNOTATIONS AND PROTECTION BINDINGS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a device that obtains program code of an application that defines annotations for different data types handled by the application. The device then determines an association between each data type and a category of sensitive data. Based on these associations, the device creates protection bindings that define a data handling scope bonded to the association between each data type and its associated category of sensitive data. Data compliance policies are then applied to the application according to these associations and protection bindings.

  • The device obtains program code of an application with annotations for different data types.
  • It determines associations between each data type and a category of sensitive data.
  • Protection bindings are created based on these associations, defining a data handling scope for each data type.
  • Data compliance policies are applied to the application based on the associations and protection bindings.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Data security and compliance in applications handling sensitive data.
  • Enhancing privacy protection in applications by defining and enforcing data handling scopes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring proper handling and protection of sensitive data in applications.
  • Enforcing compliance with data privacy regulations and policies.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved data security and privacy in applications.
  • Simplified implementation of data handling and compliance policies.
  • Enhanced control over sensitive data within applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

in one embodiment, a device obtains program code of an application that defines annotations denoting a plurality of data types handled by the application. the device determines, for each of the plurality of data types, an association between that data type and a category of sensitive data. the device creates, based on the association for each of the plurality of data types, a protection binding that defines a data handling scope bonded to the association between that data type and its associated category of sensitive data. the device causes data compliance policies to be applied to the application according to its corresponding associations and protection bindings.
