Samsung patents data caching that checks user permissions before storing results

Samsung describes a system that creates a digital token to verify a user's access rights before running a data query. It then runs a test version of the query to decide if the results should be stored in a private, group, or shared cache based on security rules.

Why it mattersThis approach helps software manage sensitive data more securely by ensuring cached results are only visible to users with the correct permissions.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions; one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to generate a token for managing data permissions of a user requesting a query, determine a cache type available to the user by using the query and the token, and request cache data corresponding to an execution result of the query based on the determined cache type, and wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, to determine the cache type further cause the electronic device to obtain job information about the query by executing a dry run of the query, and determine the cache type available to the user to be at least one of a user cache, a group cache, or a shared cache based on security information included in the job information, specific function information included in the query, and a type of the token.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device comprising: memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions; and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to: generate a token for managing data permissions of a user requesting a query, determine a cache type available to the user by using the query and the token, and request cache data corresponding to an execution result of the query based on the determined cache type, and wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, to determine the cache type further cause the electronic device to: obtain job information about the query by executing a dry-run of the query, and determine the cache type available to the user to be at least one of a user cache, a group cache, or a shared cache based on security information included in the job information, specific function information included in the query, and a type of the token.
