The data security method, system and associated data mining enables
multiple users, each having a respective security clearance level to
access security sensitive words, data objects, characters or icons. The
method extracts security sensitive words, data objects, characters or
icons from plaintext or other source documents to obtain (a) subsets of
extracted data and (b) remainder data. The extracted data is, in one
embodiment, stored in a multilevel security system (MLS) which separates
extract data of different security levels with MLS guards. Some or all of
the original data is reconstructed via one or more of the subsets of
extracted data and remainder data only in the presence of a predetermined
security level. In this manner, an inquiring party, with the proper
security clearance, can data mine the data in the MLS secured storage.
