REMOTE KEY MANAGEMENT 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 used 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 key service engine for facilitating remote key management services in a collaborative cloud-based environment, the key service engine comprising:
a processor; a key service proxy device configured to initiate a remote key request responsive to a determination that a data item indicated by a content request is associated with remote key management functionality, wherein the remote key request includes a reason code enumerating a reason associated with the content request; a reason engine configured to direct the processor to process the content request to identify the reason associated with the content request and responsively generate the corresponding reason code.
