Abstract

Data is provided with location-based access control information. Access to the data at a physical location is then limited according to the location-based access control information. A physical location of a device accessing the data can be determined, and the limiting of the access is then according to the determined physical location. The data can be provided in encrypted form, and limiting access to the data includes enabling decryption of the data according to the physical location.

Claims (11)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining a transmission medium type, wherein the transmission medium type is one of a cable-based transmission medium or a wireless transmission medium;

providing data that includes location-based access control information, wherein the manner in which the location-based access control information is determined is dependent upon the transmission medium type; and

limiting access, using a data processing device, to the data at a physical location according to the location-based access control information.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising determining a physical location of a device accessing the data, and limiting the access according to the determined physical location.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein providing the data includes providing the data in encrypted form, and limiting access to the data includes enabling decryption of the data according to the physical location.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the data comprises a computer file.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein limiting access to the file includes applying operating system services to limit the access.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein limiting access to the file includes using an application program to limit the access.
