Systems and Methods for Providing and Managing Distributed Enclaves

摘要

A method for operating a distributed data management and control enclave comprises providing a policy that identifies a set of data to be managed and controlled. The policy further identifies devices upon which the data may be transferred and the conditions under which that data may be transferred to the identified devices. A first data management and control system to be used on a first device is then defined in the policy. A second management and control system to be used on a second device is then defined in the policy. The second data management and control system can be distinct from the first data management and control system. The specified data management and control system is then instantiated on a device. The specified data management and control system is then used to manage and control data on the device in accordance with the policy.
