ENHANCED REMOTE KEY MANAGEMENT FOR AN ENTERPRISE IN A CLOUD-BASED ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating remote key management services in a collaborative cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, the remote key management architecture and techniques described herein provide for local key encryption and automatic generation of a reason code associated with content access. The reason code is logged by a hardware security module which is monitored by a remote client device (e.g., an enterprise client) to control a second (remote) layer of key encryption. The remote client device provides client-side control and configurability of the second layer of key encryption.

主权项

1. A method for facilitating remote key management services in a collaborative cloud-based environment, the method comprising:
processing a data item indicated by a content request to determine that the data items is associated with remote key management functionality; identifying audit log information associated with the content request,
wherein the audit log information includes a reason code enumerating a user behavior performed on the data item in the collaborative cloud-based environment; initiating a secure key request to a hardware security module (HSM), wherein the secure key request includes the audit log information.
