SECURELY SHARING DATA AND ACCESS PERMISSIONS IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17899177 titled 'SECURELY SHARING DATA AND ACCESS PERMISSIONS IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
- User device transmits public key of client device to Key Management Server (KMS).
- KMS generates a digital certificate using the public key of the client device.
- The digital certificate is stored in a storage device of a cloud service.
- Client device generates a signed command to access the storage device, signed using a private key corresponding to the public key of the client device.
- The signed command is issued to the storage device to access data stored by the storage device.
Potential Applications
- Secure data access in cloud services
- Key management for secure communication between devices
Problems Solved
- Securely storing and accessing data in cloud services
- Ensuring data integrity and authenticity during access
Benefits
- Enhanced security for data access
- Efficient key management for devices communicating in a network
Original Abstract Submitted
In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including: transmitting, by a user device, a public key of a client device to a key management server (KMS); generating, by the KMS, a digital certificate using the public key of the client device; storing the digital certificate in a storage device of a cloud service; generating, by the client device, a signed command to access the storage device, the signed command signed using a private key corresponding to the public key of the client device; and issuing the signed command to the storage device to access data stored by the storage device.
