Abstract
Apparatuses and methods provide operating system independent digital rights management. A request can be made for data, which can be monitored by a security module. The security module is independent of a host operating system and manages digital rights for the requested data. Thus, digital rights management occurs outside the context of a host operating system. The security module may classify the data and determine a security policy based on the data classification. Policy may be stored locally or remotely, and may be associated with the data subject to the policy.
