  • Client-side encryption and processing of telemetry data
    Patent number: 11487895
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for client-side encryption and/or processing of telemetry data. An illustrative method comprises providing, by a telemetry server, a query request to a telemetry client, wherein the provided query request comprises a query and an encrypted payload over which the query operates; obtaining a query result from the telemetry client, wherein the telemetry client (a) decrypts the encrypted payload using at least one decryption key, (b) processes the query request using the decrypted payload, and (c) provides the query result to the telemetry server; and aggregating the query results obtained from one or more of the telemetry clients. The telemetry client can (i) validate the decrypted payload using a signature within the decrypted payload, and/or (ii) evaluate a query type of the query to determine whether the telemetry client opted in to the query type being executed.
