METHOD FOR MAPPING PRIVACY POLICIES TO CLASSIFICATION LABELS
First Claim
1. A method of mapping a privacy policy into classification labels for controlling access to information on a computer system or network, said privacy policy including one or more rules for determining which users can access said information, the method comprising the steps of:
- parsing said one or more rules of the privacy policy;
sorting the one or more rules into one or more sets; and
for each set of rules,forming a logical statement from the rules of said each set, andusing said logical statement to create associated privacy labels that allow access to said information.

Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for mapping a privacy policy into classification labels for controlling access to information on a computer system or network, said privacy policy including one or more rules for determining which users can access said information. The method comprises the steps of parsing said one or more rules of the privacy policy; sorting the one or more rules into one or more sets; and, for each set of rules, (i) forming a logical statement from the rules of said each set, and (ii) using said logical statement to create associated privacy labels that allow access to said information. In a preferred embodiment, each of the rules is associated with a user category, a data category and a purpose category; and the rules in each set of rules have the same user category, the same data category, and the same purpose category.
