Abstract
Access control systems are provided that mediate access to derivatives of sensitive data. A method is provided for processing a data request from a client, the data request comprising a client identifier and an indication of the intended use of the data, by receiving the data request from the client; providing the client identifier and indicated use to an access manager, wherein the access manager assesses a risk of providing access to the data for the indicated use; if the access manager grants access for the indicated use, receiving one or more keys with corresponding computing restrictions from the access manager; computing a result; and providing the result to the client, wherein the provided result comprises the derivative of sensitive data. The access manager grants the access for the indicated use, for example, based on a risk score.
