Abstract:
A method for preventing the divulging information to an unauthorized requestor includes: receiving a request to view a data set, the receiving from a requestor; obtaining a policy associated with the data set; and determining a context for the requestor to view the data, the context including at least one of: information about the requestor, information about the data set, and conditions related to viewing the data set. The method further includes: applying the policy to the context; determining whether the context agrees with the policy; presenting the data set to the requestor based on the context agreeing with the policy; and preventing the data set from being presented to the requestor based on the context not agreeing with the policy.
