Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementation for biometric authentication in secure data management. Authentication is initiated for a person claiming to be a record owner prior to a transaction between the record owner and a service provider. Biometric based authentication of the person is performed by detecting liveness of the person and authenticating an identity of the person based on biometric information of the person. Upon successful authentication of the person, a trusted party processes a request directed to a trusted entity to validate one or more data items related to the record owner in order to proceed with the transaction and forward a cloaked identifier obtained based on the request, where the cloaked identifier is to be used by the service provider to seek a validation response with regard to the one or more data items from the trusted party.

Abstract: Example methods and systems disclosed herein facilitate the introduction and use of client-specified object encryption within a computing environment using remote third-party storage systems, where data objects stored on the remote third-party storage systems were previously either stored in unencrypted form or encrypted with a single key tied to an account that owns the data. In some embodiments, the encryption is introduced into the system in gradual stages, so as to minimize or entirely eliminate data availability downtime. In some embodiments, the introduction of client-specified object encryption involves registration of a user function on the third-party storage system, where the user function handles object decryption in response to requests of content consumers for data objects stored by the third-party storage system.
