Zusammenfassung:A system can be used to enforce policy driven interactions among any set of objects. The availability of objects within a system is monitored and policies applicable to the objects are enforced. Objects within the system such as users, devices, processes and information assets are assigned unique identifiers and their presence is periodically reported to a server by client agents running in the devices. The availability of an object for a specific interaction may be determined through analysis of the presence of the object in the system and the presence and attributes of objects required to facilitate the interaction. Policies are associated with each of the objects. When an attempted interaction of objects is detected by a client agent, a license governing the attempted interaction is dynamically generated in accordance with policies associated with each of the objects participating in the interaction. The interaction is thereafter regulated by the client agent in accordance with the dynamically generated license.
