Method to restrict display of sensitive data in database
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11947704B2) outlines a method for restricting the display of sensitive data on a client device. The method involves displaying an interface that obscures sensitive information, accessing the information from a database based on authorization, and removing the interface element to display the sensitive data only to authorized entities. The security engine also logs access requests, identifies unauthorized attempts, and provides detailed information on the access log, including user accounts, hardware devices, software applications, and access permissions.
Furthermore, the patent includes provisions for displaying non-sensitive information, initiating audits for unauthorized access attempts, and providing clear messages to unauthorized entities. The method ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized users, with the interface element serving as a visual barrier until proper authorization is confirmed. The detailed data access log maintained by the security engine enhances transparency and accountability in data access, making it a comprehensive solution for managing sensitive information display on client devices.
