Kenji, I guess I don't understand your problem.  You say
``someone can enter as 'none' user and read hidden internal data
in a future...''.  If it's hidden internal data, it should be owned
by a group that "none" does not belong to, and world access should
be denied, which stops access by "none" and any other user not in
the group.  So it sounds like you've got ``hidden internal'' [sic] data
that is world-readable (thus neither hidden nor internal) and you're
trying to stop "none" from reading it, which sounds like you're trying
to solve the wrong problem.  Or I have I misunderstood your situation?
