Abstract: A system and method for conflict-free cloud storage encryption include selecting, from a set of computing devices configured to download data from a shared storage platform, a first device, obtaining, by a first module on the first computing device, a parameter for processing data, selecting, by the first module, a data object stored on the first device and processing the selected data object, using the parameter, to produce a processed data object. The processed data object may be uploaded to the shared storage platform. The parameter may be provided to a second module on a second computing device included in the set and used, by the second module, to reproduce the data object based on the processed data object.

Abstract: A system and method for selective protection of information items is provided a one or more information elements in an information object may be identified. Selected information elements in an information object may be encrypted. Placeholders may replace selected information elements. Presentation of information included in the information object may comprise a presentation of placeholders substituting information elements. Contingent on an authentication, placeholders may be replaced by associated information elements. Contingent on an authentication, information elements may be viewed and/or manipulated.
