Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that receive a search request with one or more data items to search against filters. Masked versions of the data items are generating using a first predetermined algorithm. The masked versions can be transmitted to another computing device to be secured. Query data can be generated by applying a second algorithm to the secured version of the data items. The query data can be transmitted to a storage system to query the filters to identify search results.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that receive data at an electronic computing device. A first algorithm can be applied to the phrases to generate masked versions of the phrases. The masked versions can be cryptographically secured using a second algorithm and a cryptographic key. The second algorithm and cryptographic key can be used to generate a secured versions of the phrases. A filter representative of the data can be generated using the secured versions of the phrases.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generation of a representative data structure. A computing device can receive data including various data items. The computing device can generate logical rows that include the data items. The computing device can convert the logical rows into nodes and store the nodes into logical rows of a first logical table. The computing device can generate logical rows for a second logical table including row identifiers and a link to one of the logical rows from the first logical table.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that receive data at an electronic computing device. The data can include phrases that can be transformed according to an algorithm to generate a masked version of the phrases. The masked version can be transmitted to a third party system for securing. The secured version can be received from the third party system. A secured filter representative of the received data can be generated based on the received secured version.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generation of secure indexes that permit the querying or searching of encrypted data in a cryptographically-secure manner. In various embodiments, a filter gradient comprises a node identifier, a set membership filter, and an ordered genealogy (such that it comprises a filter that encodes a subset of the items encoded by its parent), and a FiG tree is a rooted tree with filter gradients (and, optionally, one or more dictionaries) as nodes such that each filter gradient uses a different hash. A HiiT data structure, in various embodiments, comprises a hash table that points to the rows of an inverted index table. In various embodiments, an oblivious pseudorandom function may be employed to mask, secure, and prepare the phrases for insertion into the secure indexes.

The protocol isolation method performed by the first apparatus includes establishing a local communication channel with the second apparatus. The method further includes exchanging the data via the local communication channel with the second apparatus according to a first protocol. The method also includes converting the data to a second protocol different from the first protocol.

Abstract: Systems and methods that permit the querying of encrypted data in a cryptographically-secure manner. Generally, data that has been encrypted cannot be queried using plaintext terms because it is in ciphertext. Accordingly, use of filters that correspond to the encrypted data and are generated by multiple parties permits querying of the data without decrypting the data or compromising the security of the encrypted data or of the queries against that data.
