Abstract
A system for applying access permissions to read requests may write a file to a storage media. The file may contain data, an embedded flag, and an embedded verification datum of the embedded flag. The embedded flag may indicate an access permissions requisite for file access. The system may also receive a request to access the file from a user and retrieve an access permission for the user. The system may also compare the embedded flag to the access permission for the user to determine the user has permission to access the file. A verification datum may be calculated, and the calculated verification datum may be compared to the embedded verification datum to determine the embedded flag has not changed.
