MANAGING ACCESS TO DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020400 titled 'MANAGING ACCESS TO DATA

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for managing access to data stored in a database. The system includes the ability to encrypt data using an application encryption algorithm and assign user-specific data access roles and permissions.

  • The system stores a database with various fields of data.
  • The data in the database can be encrypted using an application encryption algorithm.
  • User-specific data access roles and permissions are defined, specifying which subset of the data each role has authorization to decrypt.
  • A user token representing credentials and user-specific data access roles is generated by the access rights system.
  • When a query for data is received, the system compares the user-specific data access role of the user token with the access rights system to identify the user-specific data permissions for that role.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Data security and access control in various industries such as healthcare, finance, and government.
  • Securely managing sensitive information in cloud-based systems.
  • Protecting personal data in online platforms and applications.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring that only authorized users have access to specific data.
  • Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access or breaches.
  • Simplifying the management of user access roles and permissions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced data security and privacy.
  • Improved control over data access and permissions.
  • Simplified management of user roles and permissions.
  • Increased compliance with data protection regulations.


Original Abstract Submitted

managing access to data, including storing a database that includes fields; encrypting data of all or some fields of the database using an application encryption algorithm; receiving data indicating user-specific data access roles and user-specific data permissions for each of the user-specific data access roles, each of the user-specific data permissions defining a subset of the data of the database that the corresponding user-specific data access role has authorization for decrypting the subset of the data; receiving a user token representing credentials and user-specific data access roles of an authorized user, wherein the user token is generated by the access rights system; receiving a query for requested data stored by the database; comparing the user-specific data access role of the user token with the user-specific data access roles of the access rights system to identify user-specific data permissions for the user-specific data access role of the user token.
