Abstract
A computer-implemented method for securely managing access to data may comprise identifying a request to access data that is encrypted, the request being made within an insecure platform. The method may: determine that a requestor has a right to access the data, decrypt the data to provide decrypted data, and permit a secure platform to access the decrypted data. A computer-implemented method for securely managing access to data may comprise identifying a request to access data that is encrypted, the request being made within an insecure platform. They method may: submit the request to a policy server, receive permission from the policy server to access the data, decrypt the data to provide decrypted data, and permit a secure platform to access the decrypted data. A system for securely managing access to data may comprise: an authorization platform, an authentication module, a policy-enforcement module, and a cryptography module.
