Chaining, triggering, and enforcing entitlements

Abstract

Embodiments are directed to techniques for chaining, triggering, and/or enforcing entitlements in a constrained environment. A constrained environment may be provided within with shielded assets are required to exist or execute. An entitlement may be granted on a variety of shielded assets, including datasets, computations scripts, data privacy pipelines, and intermediate datasets generated by an intermediate step of a data privacy pipeline. Thus, a beneficiary may use a granted entitlement as an input into other data privacy pipelines, without the need for the grantor to approve each specific downstream operation. The constrained environment may enforce an entitlement by fulfilling applicable constraints upon accessing the entitlement, restricting the output of the entitlement to the constrained environment, and fulfilling applicable policies when executing downstream operations. Data may be exported from the constrained environment when the data consumer seeking to export has sufficient ownership rights or export permission and applicable policies are fulfilled.
