POLICY BASED ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM WITH STANDARDIZED ENFORCEMENT LAYER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048592 titled 'POLICY BASED ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM WITH STANDARDIZED ENFORCEMENT LAYER

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure provides methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media for dynamic enforcement of access control policies in a standardized manner.

  • An administrator console allows access control policies to be defined as classes that can be combined and leveraged to quickly define access control policies for enforcement in a standardized manner.
  • An interceptor detects access requests and performs policy administration, such as determining whether to grant or deny access.
  • When access is granted, the interceptor initiates policy resolution to determine any restrictions on the granted access request.
  • An enforcer enforces policy resolution outcomes, such as restricting access to information in a database or disabling interactive elements of a user interface.
  • The enforcer can modify information in received access requests to control enforcement of policy resolution outcomes, such as rewriting a query to incorporate access restrictions to a data source.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Access control in computer systems and networks
  • Data security and privacy protection
  • User interface customization and restriction

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring standardized and dynamic enforcement of access control policies
  • Efficiently defining and combining access control policies
  • Enforcing policy resolution outcomes in a controlled manner

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplified and standardized access control policy management
  • Enhanced data security and privacy protection
  • Customizable and restricted user interfaces


Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, devices, and computer-readable storage media that support dynamic enforcement of access control policies in a standardized manner. an administrator console enables access control policies to be defined as classes that may be combined and leveraged to rapidly define access control policies for enforcement in a standardized manner. an interceptor operates to detect access requests and perform policy administration (e.g., determining to grant/deny access) for the access requests and where access is granted, initiate policy resolution (e.g., determine any restrictions on the granted access request). an enforcer provides functionality for enforcing policy resolution outcomes, such as restricting access to information stored in a database or disabling interactive elements of a user interface. the enforcer may control enforcement of the policy resolution outcomes by modifying information in received access requests, such as to rewrite a query to incorporate restrictions on access to a data source.
