Abstract

A system for controlling file access on a mobile computing device. Policy conditions are held at a policy decision point (PDP) and can be dynamically modified at run-time. Access requests to a file or set of files are intercepted by an agent that subsequently brokers the adjudication of said request via a secure, encrypted and hidden back-channel where the requestor is never allowed access to or knowledge of either the adjudication process or the parameters associated with adjudication. The PDP then returns either an access approval or denial based on said policy conditions.
