Abstract
Computer system and method enforces control policies including access and usage policies. A rules-based engine member or assembly is coupled between a rights-management (or similar) system and one or more target applications. The rules-based engine member centralizes data security determinations for the target applications. One or more agents are responsive to the rules-based engine member and target applications, and handle low-level details in interactions between the rules-based engine member and target applications. A generic engine framework serves as a normalizing factor and enables scalability.
