Abstract
A system and method for secure cloud computing. The cloud based processing system comprises a user interface, allowing a user to enter and edit data, a proxy server, and a cloud based processing server. The user interface sends data entered by a user to the proxy server, which sends the encrypted data to the cloud based processing server. The proxy server receives editing commands from the user interface, and sends those commands to the cloud based processing server along with the encrypted data. The cloud based processing server receives the encrypted data and editing commands, applies the editing commands to the encrypted data, and sends the edited encrypted data back to the proxy server.
Claims19
A cloud based processing system comprising:
- a user interface, configured to allow a user to enter and edit data, wherein the data comprises text, and wherein the user interface comprises a display screen and a user input device, the display screen of the user interface configured to show a browser window, presenting an application interface to a user,
- a proxy server, and
- a cloud based processing server,
- wherein the user interface is configured to send data entered by a user to the proxy server, and the proxy server is configured to receive and encrypt the data, and send the encrypted data to the cloud based processing server,
- the proxy server further configured to receive editing commands from the user interface, and send those editing commands to the cloud based processing server along with the encrypted data, wherein the editing command comprises a formatting command for formatting the text entered by the user,
- the cloud based processing server being configured to receive the encrypted data and the editing commands from the proxy server, apply the editing commands to the encrypted data to provide edited encrypted data, and send the edited encrypted data back to the proxy server.
A method of secure cloud based processing, comprising the steps of:
- providing plain text data to a proxy server;
- providing an editing command to the proxy server, wherein the editing command comprises a formatting command for formatting the plain text data;
- the proxy server encrypting the plain text data into a package of encrypted data,
- the proxy server sending the package of encrypted data and editing command to a cloud based processor,
- the cloud based processor applying the editing command to the package of encrypted data to create an edited package of encrypted data,
- the cloud based processor sending the edited package of encrypted data back to the proxy server,
- the proxy server decrypting the edited package of encrypted data, thereby providing edited plain text data comprising the plain text data with the editing command applied thereto.
