Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for encrypting portions of data for storage and processing in a remote network. For example, methods may include receiving a message that includes data for forwarding to a server device; encrypting a portion of the data to determine an encrypted portion; determining metadata based on the portion of the data, wherein the metadata indicates one or more properties of the portion of the data and enables one or more operations to be performed by the server device that depend on the one or more properties; determining a payload including the data with both the encrypted portion and the metadata substituted for the portion of the data; and transmitting the payload to the server device.
