==PROTECTING SENSITIVE DATA DUMP INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17839346 titled 'PROTECTING SENSITIVE DATA DUMP INFORMATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method and system for protecting sensitive data dump information. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The method involves using a processor to receive a dump file associated with an application.
* User classification profiles are created to define security access levels to different regions of the dump file.
* A first encrypted region, which is a subset of the different regions, is encrypted using a first encryption key associated with a specific user classification profile.
* The encrypted dump file is then produced.
* The method also involves determining a user who belongs to the specific user classification profile and providing them with access to the encrypted dump file and a decryption key to decrypt the first encrypted region.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Data protection in applications that deal with sensitive information.
* Secure storage and transfer of sensitive data dump files.
* Access control and encryption for different user classification profiles.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Protecting sensitive data dump information from unauthorized access.
* Ensuring that only users with the appropriate security access levels can access specific regions of the dump file.
* Providing a secure method for decrypting encrypted regions of the dump file.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced security and protection of sensitive data.
* Efficient access control for different user classification profiles.
* Simplified encryption and decryption process for specific regions of the dump file.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method and implementing system protects sensitive data dump information. The method comprises using a processor receiving a dump file (DF) associated with an application. The method further comprises allocating user classification profiles defining security access levels to different regions of the DF and encrypting a first encrypted region that is a proper subset of the different regions using a first encryption key associated with a first user classification profile of the user classification profiles to produce an encrypted DF (EDF). The method further comprises determining a first user to be a member of the first user classification profile, and providing access to the EDF and a first decryption key useable to decrypt the first encrypted region to the first user.
