  • Patent number: 9785785
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and using a sharable file-level key to secure data files. The file-level key is generated based on a workgroup key associated with the data file and unique information associated with the data file. The file-level key may be used to encrypt and split data. Systems and methods are also provided for sharing data without replicating the data on an end user machine. Data is encrypted and split across an external/consumer network and an enterprise/producer network. Access to the data is provided using a computing image generated by a server in the enterprise/producer network and then distributed to end users of the external/consumer network. This computing image may include preloaded files that provide pointers to the data. No access or replication of the data on the enterprise/producer network is needed in order for a user of the external/consumer network to access the data.

  • Publication number: 20170005992
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for securely sending a digital message from a sending device (1) to a recipient device (3) over an open network (4) such as the Internet. In a method embodiment of the present invention, a system controller (5) instructs the sending device (1) to segment the message into a finite number of segments having variable lengths; and assigns a variable number of relay (2) hops to each segment. The segments then flow from the sending device (1) to the recipient device (3) via several layers of conventional network relays (2). At least some of the segments are encrypted, by the sending device (1) and/or by one or more autonomous agent modules (30) operating on the relays (2). This invention makes it virtually impossible to track what is happening at the relays (2), or to identify the intended recipient (3). This virtually eliminates network traffic analysis as a viable means of compromising the security of the communications.

  • Patent number: 8769270
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and using a sharable file-level key to secure data files. The sharable file-level key is generated based on a workgroup key associated with the data file, as well as unique information associated with the data file. The sharable file-level key may be used to encrypt and split data using a Secure Parser. Systems and methods are also provided for sharing data without replicating the data on the machine of the end user. Data is encrypted and split across an external/consumer network and an enterprise/producer network. Access to the data is provided using a computing image generated by a server in the enterprise/producer network and then distributed to end users of the external/consumer network. This computing image may include preloaded files that provide pointers to the data that was encrypted and split. No access or replication of the data on the enterprise/producer network is needed in order for a user of the external/consumer network to access the data.
