Abstract
For access policy enforcement, a method restricts access to a decryption key for private data on an electronic device. The private data is encrypted and includes group communications. The method determines an electronic device profile that includes a device time and a device location of the electronic device. The method releases the decryption key in response to the electronic device profile satisfying an access policy. The method decrypts the private data using the decryption key.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- restricting, by use of a processor, access to a decryption key for private data on an electronic device, wherein the private data is encrypted and comprises group communications;
- determining an electronic device profile comprising a device time and a device location of the electronic device;
- releasing the decryption key in response to the electronic device profile satisfying an access policy;
- and
- decrypting the private data using the decryption key.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing code executable by the processor to perform:
- restricting access to a decryption key for private data on an electronic device, wherein the private data is encrypted and comprises group communications;
- determining an electronic device profile comprising a device time and a device location of the electronic device;
- releasing the decryption key in response to the electronic device profile satisfying an access policy;
- and
- decrypting the private data using the decryption key.
A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing code executable by a processor to perform:
- restricting access to a decryption key for private data on an electronic device, wherein the private data is encrypted and comprises group communications;
- determining an electronic device profile comprising a device time and a device location of the electronic device;
- releasing the decryption key in response to the electronic device profile satisfying an access policy;
- and
- decrypting the private data using the decryption key.
