Abstract
Techniques disclosed herein encrypt sensitive data being transmitted from one endpoint to another endpoint through intermediary cloud(s) so that the sensitive data is not visible to the intermediary cloud(s). Double data encryption, utilizing public and private key pairs generated at the endpoints, is used to anonymize the sensitive data, while other data transmitted along with the sensitive data remains unencrypted so that intermediary cloud(s) can process the unencrypted data. In a particular embodiment, one of the endpoints is an application running in a first cloud, the other endpoint is a web browser executing a web application, and the intermediary cloud(s) are additional cloud(s) with applications running therein that provide services to the first cloud or coordinate with the application running in the first cloud to provide a service.
