Transparent document encryption with integrated access management creates data security in the Cloud

Cloud Data Storage Services like e.g. Amazon’s S3 Service (Simple Storage Service) are increasedly used by companies. The appeal mostly is based on their dynamically available and scalable infrastructure. The vast theme, mainly influencing the acceptance of Cloud Computing, is Security. Severe security concerns for business critical data transferred to the Cloud mainly refer to themes like integrity and privacy.

With their product Document Encryption CORISECIO provides an effective solution for Cloud Security. All CORISECIO solutions are implemented based on the Open Source securityRunTime (secRT), an Eclipse Runtime project.

Sensitive documents leaving the company always pose a serious risk as they are out of the company’s direct control. If Cloud Services are used, companies do not know where their data exactly is located in the Cloud and who can gain access to the data. This may result in legal implications, if e.g. personal data may not leave the country.

With their Document Encryption solution CORISECIO provides companies the option to encrypt documents using the Streaming method via all common office applications. Transparent for the end user, documents are encryptedly transmitted to the Cloud and saved there. During a document request, Document Encryption grants access to the documents decrypted on-the-fly to authenticated users only. Accesses not authorized by CORISECIO Document Encryption (e.g. direct access via the hard disk) only gain access to the encrypted data.
