Claim 7:
8. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive, via a network, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message with a request for a public cloud service from a client of the network,
identify a first subset of fields within the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message which contain sensitive information within the HTTP message based on a type of the public cloud service to be performed on data within the HTTP message;
identify a second subset of fields which do not contain sensitive information within the HTTP message;
encrypt values stored within the first subset of fields while leaving values of the second subset of fields intact to generate a partially encrypted HTTP message via a proxy of the network; and
transmit the partially encrypted HTTP message to a computing system of the public cloud service via a public network.
