  • Publication number: 20150304310
    Abstract: Customers accessing resources and/or data in a multi-tenant environment can obtain assurance that a provider of that environment will honor only requests associated with the customer. A multi-tenant cryptographic service can be used to manage cryptographic key material and/or other security resources in the multi-tenant environment. The cryptographic service can provide a mechanism in which the service can receive requests to use the cryptographic key material to access encrypted customer data, export key material out of the cryptographic service, destroy key material managed by the cryptographic service, among others. Such an approach can enable a customer to manage key material without exposing the key material outside a secure environment.

  • Publication number: 20150019858
    Abstract: Data received through a proxy for a service is analyzed for compliance with one or more data policies, such as one or more data loss prevention policies. When data satisfies the criteria of one or more data policies, the data is manipulated at the proxy prior to transmission of the data to the service. In some examples, the manipulation of the data includes encryption.

  • Publication number: 20150006890
    Abstract: A service proxy services as an application programming interface proxy to a service, which may involve data storage. When a request to store data is received by the service proxy, the service proxy encrypts the data and stores the data in encrypted form at the service. Similarly, when a request to retrieve data is received by the service proxy, the service proxy obtains encrypted data from the service and decrypts the data. The data may be encrypted using a key that is kept inaccessible to the service.

  • Publication number: 20140380054
    Abstract: Data is encrypted such that multiple keys are needed to decrypt the data. The keys are accessible to different entities so that no single entity has access to all the keys. At least one key is managed by a service provider. A customer computer system of the service provider may be configured with executable instructions directing the orchestration of communications between the various entities having access to the keys. As a result, security compromise in connection with a key does not, by itself, render the data decryptable.

  • Patent number: 7783782
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a dynamic access method for a service oriented architecture includes receiving a number of proxy endpoints from a business application, selecting one proxy endpoint from among the multiple proxy endpoints, and transmitting a request to an enterprise service bus (ESB). The request includes the one proxy endpoint for accessing the particular web service that it references.

  • Publication number: 20070027840
    Abstract: The present invention relates to searching a data store comprising data about users who are attempting to identify other users associated with the data store. Examples include the recruitment field in which employers are seeking employees, and vice versa; and the dating field in which user A is seeking users B having certain characteristics, and vice versa.
