DATA SECURITY IN AN OFF-PREMISE ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates secure data management, comprising:
- a security component that automatically encrypts data for transfer to an off-premise store using a key associated with an intended user; and
a partitioning component that separates an off-premise store into a plurality of segments, wherein a set of the segments are associated the intended user.

Abstract
A system that enables a cloud-based data repository to function as a secure ‘drop-box’ for data that corresponds to a user is provided. The ‘drop box’ can be facilitated through the use of cryptographic keying technologies. For instance, data that is ‘dropped’ by or on behalf of a particular user can be encrypted using a public key that corresponds to a user-specific private key. Thus, although the data resides within the large pool of ‘cloud-based’ data, it is protected since it can only be decrypted by using the private key, which is kept secret. The innovation can further facilitate user-centric secure storage by partitioning the cloud-based repository into multiple partitions, each of which corresponds to specific indexing criteria.

15. A computer-implemented method of securing data transmission, comprising:
-
encrypting data in an on-premise environment using a public key that corresponds to an identity of an intended user of the data; transmitting the encrypted data to an off-premise environment; and storing the encrypted data in a store located in the off-premise environment. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-executable system that facilitates secure management of data in an off-premise environment, comprising:
-
means for establishing an identity of an intended user of data; means for encrypting the data using a cryptographic key that corresponds to the identity of the intended user; and means for storing the data into at least one of a plurality of partitions of a store located in the off-premise environment. - View Dependent Claims (20)
