Data Usage Control Scenario

There are variety of Data Usage Control policies that can be defined by data providers to protect their data. The Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) is a policy expression language that provides a flexible and interoperable information model, vocabulary, and encoding mechanisms for representing statements about the usage of content and services.

ODRL policies are technology-independent and are not made to be technically enforced to a system. One can use this language as a baseline for other technology-dependent solutions that can enforce Data Usage Control policies into the systems to protect data. One of the technology-dependent policy languages and platforms provided by Fraunhofer IESE is MYDATA.
MYDATA Control Technologies is a solution that intercepts events or data flows in a system and enforces a security decision based on MYDATA policies.

PAP Editor

In this tool, we have implemented an editor that supports the data providers to specify their Usage Control ODRL as well as IDS policies. In addition, they can use this tool to translate the created policies to MYDATA policies. Recently, we have added the possibility to translate the created policies to Rego as well.
