1. A method comprising:

  • encrypting, at a computing device, one or more segments of first data with a first key, the first data being associated with at least one encryption attribute and having a plurality of segments, wherein the encryption attribute includes information to identify the one or more segments of the first data to encrypt, wherein the information contained in the encryption attribute further includes one or more of a set of numbers corresponding to the one or more segments, one or more rules relating to the one or more segments, an identifier corresponding to the one or more rules, and a pointer to a location storing the one or more rules, further comprising lowering overall time for performing encryption by limiting the encryption to the one or more segments of the plurality of segments;

    encrypting the encryption attribute with a second key to create an encrypted encryption attribute; and

    storing at least a part of second data including partly encrypted data and the encrypted encryption attribute.
