Abstract: The present application generally relates to systems, devices, and methods to conduct the secure exchange of encrypted data using a three-element-core mechanism consisting of the key masters, the registries and the cloud lockboxes with application programming interfaces providing interaction with a wide variety of user-facing software applications. Together the mechanism provides full lifecycle encryption enabling cross-platform sharing of encrypted data within and between organizations, individuals, applications and devices. Further the mechanism generates chains of encrypted blocks to provide a distributed indelible ledger and support external validation. Triangulation among users, applications and the mechanism deliver both enterprise and business ecosystem cyber security features. Crowdsourcing of anomaly detection extends to users and to subjects of the data. Robust identity masking offers the benefits of anonymization while retaining accountability and enabling two-way communications.

Abstract: The present application generally relates to systems, devices, and methods to conduct the secure exchange of encrypted data using a three-element-core mechanism consisting of the key masters, the registries and the cloud lockboxes with application programming interfaces providing interaction with a wide variety of user-facing software applications. Together the mechanism provides full lifecycle encryption enabling cross-platform sharing of encrypted data within and between organizations, individuals, applications and devices. Control of the private key required for decryption is maintained by the information owner. More specifically, the mechanism establishes unique identities, verifies authenticity, generates and securely exchanges asymmetric encryption key pairs, encrypts, transmits, receives and decrypts data to/from cloud lockboxes; creates and appends metadata specific to the applications and retrieves and/or act upon metadata.

Abstract: A method for any community of interest to conduct secure exchange of encrypted data using a three-party security mechanism consisting of key masters, registries and cloud lockboxes. The registries establish unique identities, verify authenticity, and create directories of individuals, members, cloud lockboxes and other registries. The registries manage permissions lists communicated to the cloud lockboxes as well as detecting and halting anomalous activity. The key masters operated by members to manage keys for individuals, handle encryption and decryption and conduct key exchanges with other members. The cloud lockboxes manage file storage, retrieval and access control. Related application programming interfaces support multiple levels of integration and generate metadata specific to the needs of the community of interest. Community of interest establishes operating parameters including: selecting an encryption algorithm, establishing identity verification processes and selecting a security level.
