  • Next generation access control system and process for controlling database access
    Patent number: 10127393
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method included: receiving, by an access manager, a query from a source; communicating the query from the access manager to a translator; translating the query into a next generation access control (NGAC) input; communicating the NGAC input to an NGAC engine, the NGAC engine including access control data; receiving the NGAC input; determining an authorization response; communicating the authorization response to the translator; translating the authorization response into a response statement; communicating the response statement to the access manager; communicating, if the response statement comprises a permitted statement: a permitted query to a database from the access manager, the permitted query comprising a data operation; and performing the data operation on data in the database; and blocking access by the source to data in the database if the response statement comprises a deny statement.
