  • Publication number: 20160378689
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transmitting data for secure storage. For each of two or more data sets, a plurality of shares are generated containing a distribution of data from an encrypted version of the data set. The shares are then stored in a shared memory device, wherein a data set may be reconstructed from a threshold number of the associated plurality of shares using an associated key. Also provided are systems and methods for providing access to secured data. A plurality of shares containing a distribution of data from an encrypted version of a data set are stored in a memory device. A client is provided with a virtual machine that indicates the plurality of shares, and the capability to reconstruct the data set from the plurality of shares using an associated key.

  • Patent number: 9529998
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for securing data in virtual machine computing environments. A request is received for a security operation from a first virtual machine operating in a host operating system of a first device. In response to receiving the request, a first security module executes the security operation, the first security module implemented in a kernel of the host operating system. The result of the security operation is provided to the first virtual machine.
