Data circulation control method, data circulation control system, and approval server
In a data circulation control method, an approval server including a processor and a memory controls access to data between a provision party computer providing the data and a use party computer using data. The method includes: a purpose accomplishment status notifying step in which the use party computer notifies the approval server of a use status of the previously approved data; a use application step in which the use party computer makes application to the approval server for a use policy including protection level information related to a security measure when the data is used and a use purpose of the data; and an access control step in which the approval server controls access of the use party computer to the data of the provision party computer based on the use status of the data, the protection level information, and the use purpose of the data.

wherein the use application point program applies to the approval server for a use policy including protection level information related to a security measure when the data is used and a use purpose of the data,
wherein the monitoring point program notifies the approval server of a previously approved use status of the data, the use status indicating an achievement status of the use purpose of the data, and
wherein the approval server includes the policy determination point program controls access of the use party computer to the data of the provision party computer based on the previously approved use status of the data, the protection level information, and the use purpose of the data.
5 . The data circulation control system according to claim 4 , characterized in that
the provision party computer includes a third processor and a third memory comprising a policy registration program executable by the third processor, the policy registration program registers risk information related to a risk of the data to be provided in the approval server, and
the policy registration program controls the access of the use party computer to the data of the provision party computer based on the risk information in addition to the previously approved use status of the data, the protection level information, and the use purpose of the data.
6 . The data circulation control system according to claim 5 , characterized in that the policy determination point program
calculates a risk assessment value RD indicating magnitude of a risk from the risk information,
calculates a protection level assessment value LP indicating a level of a security measure from the protection level information,
