Abstract: A device, system, and method, according to various embodiments, can include, for example, a hybrid cloud network, one or more personal cloud virtual LANs, and a home area network. The hybrid cloud network can be configured to provide public access and private access. The one or more personal cloud virtual LANs are provided at an overlapping segment of the hybrid cloud network to provide privacy within the hybrid cloud network. The home area network can include a single purpose computer configured as a gateway for the hybrid cloud network and configured to establish a site-to-site secure connection with the one or more personal cloud virtual LANs.

Abstract: A method for protecting data is disclosed that protects not only who may access data but also how it is used. This invention uses an intelligent proxy which controls access to protected data using any of a variety of already existing security measures and is also the only object capable of making use of the data so that the data may not be copied or otherwise used in any manner inconsistent with the design of a data protection scheme chosen to meet security needs.
