Patent ID: 10320761

Abstract:
Encoding a partially encrypted data stream may include receiving, at an edge encryption proxy, an unencrypted data stream, evaluating the unencrypted data stream using communication encryption rules including rule conditions and content mappings, determining whether the rule conditions match on the unencrypted data stream, and on a condition that the rule condition matches on the unencrypted data stream, and identifying a portion of the unencrypted data stream corresponding to the content mapping as a candidate sensitive portion. On a condition that the data encryption configuration information indicates that a data storage container corresponding to a matching content mapping is configured for storing sensitive information, generating an encrypted portion by encrypting the candidate sensitive portion, generating a partially encrypted data stream, including the encrypted portion, and unencrypted insensitive portions of the unencrypted data stream, and omitting the candidate sensitive portion, and transmitting or storing the partially encrypted data stream.
