METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING PERMISSION INFORMATION
A method, a device, and a system for managing permission information are provided. The method includes: receiving a permission modification instruction, where the permission modification instruction is used to instruct modification of permission information of a file; modifying the permission information according to the permission modification instruction of the file; and sending an Identifier (ID) of the file and the modified permission information to a server. The device includes: a modification module, a processing module, and a first sending module. The system includes: a client and a server. The server and the file jointly store the permission information, thereby effectively improving the flexibility of file encryption, reducing the burden of the server, and improving the performance of the server.
1 . A device for managing permission information, comprising: a receiving module, a modification module, and a sending module, wherein:
the receiving module is configured to receive a permission modification instruction, wherein the permission modification instruction is used to instruct modification of permission information of a file;
the modification module is configured to modify the permission information according to the permission modification instruction of the file received by the receiving module; and
the sending module is configured to send an Identifier (ID) of the file and the permission information modified by the modification module to a server, so that the server queries, according to the ID of the file, whether permission information corresponding to the ID of the file already exists in the server, replaces the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file with the modified permission information if the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file exists, or stores the modified permission information if the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file does not exist.
2 . The device for managing permission information according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a processing module, configured to add initial permission information into the file and to perform encryption processing on the file.
3 . A device for managing permission information, comprising:
a receiving module, configured to receive an Identifier (ID) of a file and permission information sent by a client;
a query module, configured to query whether permission information corresponding to the received ID of the file already exists;
a first decryption module, configured to perform decryption processing on the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file if the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file already exists;
a second decryption module, configured to perform decryption processing on the received permission information if the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file does not exist; and
a sending module, configured to send the permission information decrypted by the first decryption module and the second decryption module to the client.
4 . A system for managing permission information, comprising:
a client, configured to receive a permission modification instruction, wherein the permission modification instruction is used to instruct modification of permission information of a file, to modify the permission information according to the permission modification instruction of the file, and to send an Identifier (ID) of the file and the modified permission information; and
a server, configured to receive the ID of the file and the modified permission information sent by the client, to query according to the ID of the file whether permission information corresponding to the ID of the file already exists in the server, to replace the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file with the modified permission information if the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file exists, or to store the modified permission information if the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file does not exist.
5 . A system for managing permission information, comprising:
a client, configured to receive an encrypted file and to acquire and send an Identifier (ID) of the file and permission information; and
a server, configured to receive the ID of the file and the permission information sent by the client, to query whether permission information corresponding to the received ID of the file already exists, to perform decryption processing on the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file if the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file already exists, to perform decryption processing on the received permission information if the permission information corresponding to the ID of the file does not exist, and to send the decrypted permission information to the client.
