Abstract

Sharing data among disparate organizations can be extremely difficult, when the data comes from different database management systems (DBMS). Most problematic is that data stored at another organization most likely uses different DBMS schemas and organization formats. In addition, privacy laws also require some data (at a granular level) to be protected under local access policies. Current industry attempts have challenges addressing these problems. This paper discusses a secure, trusted, and lightweight solution using two patented National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) technologies, use cases, and an implemented proof-of concept. This system described allows data access where the data resides, rather than exchanging or being centrally stored.
