DISCOVERABILITY AND ENUMERATION MECHANISMS IN A HIERARCHICALLY SECURE STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

A system that generates a per user abstraction of a store from a connectionpoint. Filtering a view set of a hierarchically secured containment hierarchybased onthe access permissions of the principal is one of the novel features of theinvention.The invention can offer a collection of primitives that can operate on thisaggregationthat span multiple container hierarchies with potentially heterogeneoussecuritydescriptors. The model can reduce the necessity to traverse the containerhierarchy todiscover all the accessible items in a domain.
