  • Patent number: 10574442
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for facilitating remote key management services in a collaborative cloud-based environment. In one embodiment, the remote key management architecture and techniques described herein provide for local key encryption and automatic generation of a reason code associated with content access. The reason code is logged by a hardware security module which is monitored by a remote client device (e.g., an enterprise client) to control a second (remote) layer of key encryption. The remote client device provides client-side control and configurability of the second layer of key encryption.

  • Patent number: 10325076
    Abstract: Systems for managing personalized access to shared online objects. A user accesses a server in a cloud-based environment, wherein the server is interfaced with storage devices that store one or more content objects. The server receives communications packets comprising at least one session attribute, wherein receiving the one or more communications packets is responsive, either directly or indirectly, to an act of the user to invoke a new content access session. The session attribute is used to generate personalized workspace properties that are based on explicitly-provided information or based on inferences that pertain to the invoked content access session. Access to content objects is personalized using explicit or inferred workspace session properties. Personalization includes any aspects of branding preferences, working group colleagues, roles, privileges, friends, etc. Personalization can be based on personalized workspace properties that are inferred based on rules or combinations of data.
