企業情報管理方針に従ったキー及びデータ交換を伴うセキュアアプリエコシステムを提供する方法、非一過性コンピュータ可読媒体、及びモバイルコンピューティングデバイス

摘要

Multiple apps of an ecosystem on a computer securely exchange encrypted data according to an information control policy of an enterprise, without allowing unauthorized access from outside of the ecosystem. An ecosystem agent creates an ecosystem directory, which contains policy information and identification information concerning each specific app in the ecosystem, including the ecosystem agent. Each ecosystem app generates an asymmetric key pair, the public key of which it shares only with apps in the ecosystem through the directory. The ecosystem agent's private key is used to encrypt the directory. Data is securely communicated between apps in the ecosystem, by encrypting and decrypting messages and data objects with the appropriate ecosystem app keys. Each specific app in the ecosystem complies with enterprise information control policy. Ecosystem apps can read a policy from the directory, and receive policy updates from the enterprise.
