  • Patent number: 11539512
    Abstract: Methods and systems for encrypting and decrypting data comprising sending sensitive information to a first cryptographic processing system in a first cloud region for encryption with a first key encryption key generated by and stored by the first cryptographic processing system. The first encrypted sensitive information received from the first cryptographic processing system is stored in a first database. The sensitive information is also sent to a second cryptographic processing system in a second cloud region different from the first cloud region for encryption with a second key encryption key generated by and stored by the second cryptographic processing system. The second encrypted sensitive information received from the second cryptographic processing system is stored in a second database. If the first encrypted sensitive information cannot be decrypted by the first cryptographic processing system, the second encrypted sensitive information is sent to the second cryptographic processing system.

  • Patent number: 11101982
    Abstract: Methods and systems for encrypting sensitive information are disclosed comprising hashing sensitive information by a hash function and selecting a salt or key salt based, at least in part, on the hashed sensitive information. If a salt is selected, the selected salt is combined with the hashed sensitive information to yield combined sensitive information, which is encrypted and stored. If a key is selected, such as an AES key, for example, the sensitive information is encrypted by the selected encryption key, and stored. The keys and salts may be encrypted by a cryptographic processing system that generates and stores keys, such as a key management system and/or a hardware security module, for further protection. The salts may be concatenated into a binary large object prior to encryption. Methods and systems for updating of stored records comprising encrypted sensitive information are also described.
