Method and apparatus for access to user-specific encryption information

摘要

A method and apparatus for accessing user specific encryption information is accomplished upon receiving a request for access to user specific encryption information from a requesting entity. Based on the identity of the requesting entity and/or the type of request, a server determines the requesting entity's authorized level of access to user specific encryption information. Based on the authorized level of access, the requesting entity is provided with controlled access to the user specific information.
