SECURED COMMUNICATION IN NETWORK ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

A computing device can obtain a session key for encrypting data that is communicated between a client device and the computing device. The computing device can receive, from the client device, an encrypted request for data. The encrypted request can be encrypted by the client device using the session key. The data requested can be stored on a second computing device. The computing device can send, to the second computing device, a copy of the session key and the encrypted request for data. The second computing device can decrypt the data using the session key and can also encrypt data responsive to the request using the session key.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
obtaining, at a first computing device, a session key for encrypting data that is communicated between a client device and the first computing device; receiving, at the first computing device and from a client device, a request for data; sending, from the first computing device to a second computing device, a copy of the session key and information that identifies data responsive to the request; receiving, from the second computing device, encrypted data encrypted with the session key; and making the encrypted data available to the client device in response to the request.
