  • Patent number: 11611538
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product to detect whether specific sensitive data of a client is present in a cloud computing infrastructure is implemented without requiring that data be shared with the cloud provider, or that the cloud provider provide the client access to all data in the cloud. Instead of requiring the client to share its database of sensitive information, preferably the client executes a tool that uses a cryptographic protocol, namely, Private Set Intersection (PSI), to enable the client to detect whether their sensitive information is present on the cloud. Any such information identified by the tool is then used to label a document or utterance, send an alert, and/or redact or tokenize the sensitive data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 8, 2021
    Date of Patent: March 21, 2023
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
