Abstract

The present invention depicts a method, system and program product for controlling levels of security and levels of encryption based on a predefined policy profile. This enables administrators and those who control the network to easily respond to changes in the requirements of the security levels for specific applications. It also allows for response to changes in personnel (such as someone being removed from a position that had topsecret security access) and accommodates variations in access by client devices.
