Data storage server and client devices for securely storing data - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148273 titled 'Data storage server and client devices for securely storing data
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a client device that stores data in a database of a data storage server. The server stores security sensitive data in encrypted data structures. The client device determines if the data to be stored is security sensitive and encrypts it with an encryption key. The encrypted data, along with the encryption key identifier, is sent to the server for storage.
- The client device stores data in a database of a data storage server.
- The server stores security sensitive data in encrypted data structures.
- The client device determines if the data is security sensitive and encrypts it with an encryption key.
- The encrypted data and encryption key identifier are sent to the server for storage.
Potential Applications
- Secure storage of sensitive data in databases.
- Protection of confidential information in cloud storage systems.
- Enhanced security for personal data stored on mobile devices.
Problems Solved
- Ensures secure protection of sensitive data by encrypting it before storage.
- Reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information.
- Provides an additional layer of security for data stored in databases.
Benefits
- Improved security and privacy of sensitive data.
- Enhanced protection against data breaches and unauthorized access.
- Simplified and efficient encryption process for client devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A client device configured to store data in a database of a data storage server is provided. The data storage server stores security sensitive data in one or more encrypted data structures of the database. The client device is configured to determine whether data to be stored in the database comprises security sensitive data to be stored in an encrypted data structure of the database and to encrypt this security sensitive data with an encryption key. Furthermore, the client device is configured to provide the data, including the encrypted security sensitive data, and an identifier of the encryption key to the server for storing, based on the identifier of the encryption key, the security sensitive data in the encrypted data structure of the database. According to the present disclosure, the security sensitive data which is already encrypted at the client device improves a secure protection of the data.
