Abstract
Technology permitting secure storage and transmission of data stream as well as tiered access to multiple data stream according to permission. Data streams may be encrypted using symmetric encryption performed with varying symmetric keys according to a key stream of symmetric keys. Native data may be discarded for safety. Whole or partial key streams may be encrypted using the public keys of authorized entities having permission to access respective data streams or portions thereof. Only the corresponding private keys can decrypt the encrypted key streams required to decrypt the encrypted data streams. Thus rigorous access control is provided. IT personnel accessing data stream files on a server or intruders maliciously obtaining files will not be able to derive the data stream. Sensitive data streams may be stored using cloud services despite inherent risks.
