    Abstract: A database system facilitates secure data sharing by implementing projection constraints within a query processing framework. Upon receiving a query directed to a shared dataset, the system, utilizing hardware processors, identifies a subset of data within the dataset that is subject to a projection constraint policy. The applicability of the projection constraint is determined based on the context of the query, which is derived from a data sharing agreement. The system processes the query by selectively restricting the projection of data values from constrained columns, while allowing specific operations to be performed on the data. The output generated in response to the query is compliant with the projection constraint policy, providing derived data based on the allowed operations without revealing the actual data values. This ensures the confidentiality of sensitive information while enabling collaborative data analysis and sharing among various users of the database system.

    Abstract: A constraint system enforces projection constraints on data values stored in specified columns of a shared dataset when queries are received by a database system. A projection constraint identifies that the data in a column may be restricted from being projected (e.g., presented, read, outputted) in an output to a received query, while allowing specified operations to be performed on the data and a corresponding output to be provided. For example, the projection constraint may indicate a context for a query that triggers the constraint, such as based on the user that submitted the query. Enforcing projection constraints on queries received at the database system allows for data to be shared and used anonymously by entities to perform various operations without the need to tokenize the data.
