POLICY CONSISTENCY VERIFICATION APPARATUS, POLICY CONSISTENCY VERIFICATION METHOD, AND POLICY CONSISTENCY VERIFICATION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249008 titled 'POLICY CONSISTENCY VERIFICATION APPARATUS, POLICY CONSISTENCY VERIFICATION METHOD, AND POLICY CONSISTENCY VERIFICATION PROGRAM

The patent application abstract describes a policy consistency verification apparatus that converts a policy function into an if-then rule and verifies consistency with the policy definition by generating error samples.

  • Policy conversion part generates an if-then rule approximating a policy function.
  • Error sample generation part verifies consistency between the if-then rule and the policy definition.
  • The apparatus helps in identifying inconsistent attribute values in policies.
  • It streamlines the process of policy verification and error detection.
  • The technology enhances the accuracy and efficiency of policy management systems.

Potential Applications: - Data security and access control systems - Compliance monitoring in organizations - Regulatory compliance software

Problems Solved: - Ensuring policy consistency and accuracy - Detecting errors and inconsistencies in policy definitions - Improving the overall effectiveness of policy management

Benefits: - Enhanced security and access control measures - Increased compliance with regulations and standards - Streamlined policy management processes

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Policy Consistency Verification Apparatus for Data Security" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and government sectors for ensuring data security and regulatory compliance. It can also be integrated into existing policy management systems to improve efficiency and accuracy.

Questions about Policy Consistency Verification: 1. How does the policy conversion part generate an if-then rule?

  The policy conversion part generates an if-then rule by approximating the policy function used as an input.

2. What is the main purpose of the error sample generation part?

  The error sample generation part is designed to verify consistency between the if-then rule and the policy definition.


Original Abstract Submitted

a policy consistency verification apparatus includes a policy conversion part configured to generate an if-then rule approximating a policy function used as an input, wherein the policy function is generated from policy definition defining attribute value of access and a rule regarding accessibility to obtain an output of accessibility from inputs of the attribute value; and an error sample generation part configured to verify consistency between the if-then rule and the policy definition to generate inconsistent attribute value as an error sample.
