Securely processing shareable data utilizing a vault proxy

A computer readable storage medium comprises:

• a first memory section that stores operational instructions, that when executed by a computing device of a data processing system, causes the computing device to:
• create a proxy for a virtual vault to access a data owner system in accordance with a temporary credential protocol between the data processing system and the data owner system, wherein the proxy is the only conduit between the virtual vault and the data owner system;
• a second memory section that stores operational instructions, that when executed by the proxy, causes the proxy to:
• receive a request from a virtual machine within the virtual vault, wherein the request is requesting data from the data owner system;
• when the request is valid, create a data retrieval request based on the request and data access credentials associated with the data owner system;
• and
• forward a data response from the data owner system to the virtual machine;
• and
• a third memory section that stores operational instructions, that when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to:
• delete the proxy and the virtual vault when a data query has been completed, wherein the request is in accordance with the data query.
