SECURE SMART CONTAINERS FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS TO DATA

Abstract:

A computer system controls access to data. A secure container that is based on an image file is instantiated at an endpoint device of a user, wherein the secure container includes encrypted data corresponding to the user. An access request to the secure container is authenticated by verifying credentials of the user. In response to verifying the credentials of the user, access to the data is granted. Access to the data is controlled by decrypting and enabling access to a portion of the data, wherein additional portions of the data are decrypted and made accessible based on user behavior.
