| 20120072723 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURE DATA SHARING - Systems and methods are provided for creating and using a sharable file-level key to secure data files. The sharable file-level key is generated based on a workgroup key associated with the data file, as well as unique information associated with the data file. The sharable file-level key may be used to encrypt and split data using a Secure Parser. Systems and methods are also provided for sharing data without replicating the data on the machine of the end user. Data is encrypted and split across an external/consumer network and an enterprise/producer network. Access to the data is provided using a computing image generated by a server in the enterprise/producer network and then distributed to end users of the external/consumer network. This computing image may include preloaded files that provide pointers to the data that was encrypted and split. No access or replication of the data on the enterprise/producer network is needed in order for a user of the external/consumer network to access the data. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20110296440 | ACCELERATOR SYSTEM FOR USE WITH SECURE DATA STORAGE - Data processing and an accelerator system therefore are described. An embodiment relates generally to a data processing system. In such an embodiment, a bus and an accelerator are coupled to one another. The accelerator has an application function block. The application function block is to process data to provide processed data to storage. A network interface is coupled to obtain the processed data from the storage for transmission. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110246817 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING DATA IN MOTION - Systems and methods for reading and writing a set of data using a journaling service are provided. The journaling service may be used to identify and record data storage operations associated with one or more shares of data stored in one or more share locations. The journaling service may use logs to record each of the read and write requests to the share locations. In some embodiments, the log may be a queue data structure that stores information associated with failed data storage operations. In some embodiments, the journaling service may leverage both memory and disk storage in order to maintain the journaling queue. In some embodiments, the journaling queue may maintain information associated with the state of each share location. In some embodiments, this information may be used by the journaling service to determine when to monitor and record information regarding data storage operations associated with the share locations. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110246766 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING DATA IN MOTION - The systems and methods of the present invention provide a solution that makes data provably secure and accessible—addressing data security at the bit level—thereby eliminating the need for multiple perimeter hardware and software technologies. Data security is incorporated or weaved directly into the data at the bit level. The systems and methods of the present invention enable enterprise communities of interest to leverage a common enterprise infrastructure. Because security is already woven into the data, this common infrastructure can be used without compromising data security and access control. In some applications, data is authenticated, encrypted, and parsed or split into multiple shares prior to being sent to multiple locations, e.g., a private or public cloud. The data is hidden while in transit to the storage location, and is inaccessible to users who do not have the correct credentials for access. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110202755 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING DATA IN MOTION - Two approaches are provided for distributing trust among a set of certificate authorities. Both approaches are equally secure. In each approach, a secure data parser is integrated with any suitable encryption technology. Each approach may be used to secure data in motion. One approach provides methods and systems in which the secure data parser is used to distribute trust in a set of certificate authorities during initial negotiation (e.g., the key establishment phase) of a connection between two devices. Another approach of the present invention provides methods and systems in which the secure data parser is used to disperse packets of data into shares. A set of tunnels is established within a communication channel using a set of certificate authorities, keys developed during the establishment of the tunnels are used to encrypt shares of data for each of the tunnels, and the shares of data are transmitted through each of the tunnels. Accordingly, trust is distributed among a set of certificate authorities in the structure of the communication channel itself. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20100299313 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING DATA IN THE CLOUD - A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing data in and communicating data with cloud computing resources. The secure data parser parses data and then splits the data into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. | 11-25-2010 |
