  • Patent number: 9734137
    Abstract: Systems and methods for secure third-party document editing are described. In some embodiments, a method may include tokenizing a file retrieved from a cloud storage provider (CSP); transmitting the tokenized file to a cloud editing provider (CEP); receiving a modified, tokenized file from the CEP; de-tokenizing the modified file; and enabling rendering of the de-tokenized, modified file. In other embodiments, a memory device may have program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor of an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to: provide a portal to a user executing a browser on a client device, wherein the portal includes an interface to a CSP and to a cloud editing provider (CDEP); and allow the user to access a document stored in the CSP and to edit the document using the CDEP via the browser.

  • Publication number: 20170140151
    Abstract: Systems and methods for securely passing user authentication data between a Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA) environment and an Operating System (OS) are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor; and a Basic I/O System (BIOS) coupled to the processor, the BIOS having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the computer system to: identify an encrypted Single-Sign-On (SSO) token and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) key pair provisioned by an Operating System (OS) and stored in an OS registry; extract a TPM public key from the TPM key pair; encrypt a PBA private key generated by a PBA application with the TPM public key; and store the encrypted PBA private key, the TPM key pair, and the encrypted SSO token in a shadow partition of a self-encrypting hard drive coupled to the IHS.
