Embodiment Construction

[0021] With reference now to the figures, FIG. 1 depicts a pictorial representation of a network of data processing systems in which the present invention may be implemented. Network data processing system 100 is a network of computers in which the present invention may be implemented. Network data processing system 100 contains a network 102, which is the medium used to provide communications links between various devices and computers connected together within network data processing system 100. Network 102 may include connections, such as wire, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables.

[0022] In the depicted example, server 104 is connected to network 102 along with storage unit 106. In addition, client 108, personal digital assistant 110, and smart phone 112 are connected to network 102. Client 108 may be, for example, personal computers or network computers. In the depicted example, server 104 provides data, such as boot files, operating system images, and applicatio...

Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for device-dependent access control for device independent web content. In an illustrative embodiment, a module may be implemented in a computer program detects a client device and security level from a request for a resource by a client device. The module loads, from a data source or configuration file, a three-dimensional device dependent access control matrix, which includes a user role axis, a device axis, and a resource axis. Based on the security level of the device indicated by the device matrix, the module grants or denies access to the resource by the user device. The security levels may include security protocols implemented by different devices, encryption schemes implemented by different devices, and security patches applied by the same device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] The present invention relates to an improved data processing system. In particular, the present invention relates to providing access control to resources of a data processing system. Still more particular, the present invention relates to providing device dependent access control for device independent Web content in a data processing system. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] In the current market, a variety of handheld or pervasive devices are available for consumers. Examples of pervasive devices include Web browsers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart phones, and traditional voice telephones. These devices support different security protocols, resources, and input capability. For example, a PDA may support input by a pen, while a traditional voice telephone only supports input by voice. [0005] These devices may also have different screen sizes and bandwidth requirements. These variations present challe...
