Abstract:

The disclosure details the implementation of an apparatus, method, and system for an integrated data security layer (IDSL). In one aspect, the IDSL enables entities wishing to control users' data access, whether they are content owners, corporate system administrators, or concerned parents wishing to prevent ill-gotten data to work across their systems, to manage the access of content. The IDSL provides the ability to curb such unwanted access of data. The IDSL has the ability to obtain content information, policy rules regarding the content, and unique identifiers for the content from content providers and/or their proxies. Further, the IDSL has the ability to provide such information to IDSL clients. Such clients employ the obtained information to analyze and control access to the content. Additionally, the IDSL may act as a lookup facility to create, maintain, and update associations between a content information, policy rules, and unique identifiers of content, and any other associated information as detailed throughout.
