SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING INDIVIDUAL ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT SECURE STORAGE, RETRIEVAL AND USE

摘要

Systems and methods for providing secure digital mail document storage, retrieval and use in a cloud computing environment, such as by advantageously configuring a hybrid cloud computing environment are described. In one, a privately hosted data processing system includes a private key and a PKI decryption subsystem, and a publicly hosted data processing system includes a symmetric key decryption subsystem, wherein digital documents are encrypted by a corresponding individual symmetric key and each of the symmetric keys is encrypted by a public key associated with the private key. In another configuration, document decryption is handled differently depending upon the type of client making the request.
