Encryption of media based on content

1. A method, comprising:

accessing, on a device, a media file;

processing, using a processor of the device, image data of the media file to characterize the media file as being privacy sensitive or not privacy sensitive, wherein the processing comprises parsing the image data to identify characteristics included in the media file designated as privacy sensitive, wherein the characteristics comprise a geographic attribute and standardized parameters wherein the geographic attribute comprises a location coordinate identified by a user as a location to keep private and wherein the standardized parameters comprises characteristics of the image data identified as privacy sensitive;

setting an indicator, using the processor, denoting the media file as privacy-sensitive based on the identifying characteristics included in the media file designated as privacy sensitive;

in an automated synchronization process, notifying a user regarding the indicator prior to permitting the media file to be stored on a cloud account device;

determining, using the processor, a user response to the notifying is not received within a predetermined time; and

automatically encrypting or obfuscating the data of the media file prior to permitting the media file to be stored on the cloud account device in the automated synchronization process, wherein the encrypting comprises applying an encryption factor to the media file that matches the encryption factor of the device irrespective of an encryption factor of the cloud account device, wherein the encrypting or obfuscating comprises distorting a face of a user included in the media file.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media file is automatically encrypted if it is determined to be privacy sensitive prior to storage in a location selected from the group consisting of local device storage and removable storage.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the applied encryption factor does not match the encryption factor of the cloud account device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the applied encryption factor is a biometric encryption factor.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing comprises processing the media file to recognize a threshold amount of exposed skin.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing comprises image processing.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image data that characterizes the media file as being privacy sensitive is selected from the group consisting of: exposed skin, a predetermined body part, sensitive key words, and sensitive topics.

8. A device, comprising:

a network communication device;

a processor coupled to the network communication device;

a memory that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

access, on the device, a media file;

process the image data of the media file to characterize the media file as being privacy sensitive or not privacy sensitive, wherein to process comprises parsing the image data to identify characteristics included in the media file designated as privacy sensitive, wherein the characteristics comprise a geographic attribute and standardized parameters wherein the geographic attribute comprises a location coordinate identified by a user as a location to keep private and wherein the standardized parameters comprises characteristics of the image data identified as privacy sensitive;

thereafter set an indicator denoting the media file as privacy-sensitive based on the identifying characteristics included in the media file designated as privacy sensitive;

in an automated synchronization process, notify a user regarding the indicator prior to permitting the media file to be stored on a cloud account device;

determine a user response to a notification of the indicator is not received within a predetermined time; and

automatically encrypt or obfuscate the data of the media file prior to permitting the media file to be stored on the cloud account device in the automated synchronization process, wherein the encrypting comprises applying an encryption factor to the media file that matches the encryption factor of the device irrespective of an encryption factor of the cloud account device, wherein the encrypting or obfuscating comprises distorting a face of a user included in the media file.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the media is automatically encrypted if it is determined to be privacy sensitive prior to storage in a location selected from the group consisting of local device storage and removable storage.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the applied an encryption factor does not match the encryption factor of the cloud account device.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the applied encryption factor is a biometric encryption factor.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein processing the data of the media file comprises processing the media file to recognize a threshold amount of exposed skin.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein processing the data of the media file comprises image processing.

14. A product, comprising:

a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor of a device and comprising:

code that accesses, on a device, a media file;

code that processes image data of the media file to characterize the media file as being privacy sensitive or not privacy sensitive, wherein the code that processes comprises code that parses the image data to identify characteristics included in the media file designated as privacy sensitive, wherein the characteristics comprise a geographic attribute and standardized parameters wherein the geographic attribute comprises a location coordinate identified by a user as a location to keep private and wherein the standardized parameters comprises characteristics of the image data identified as privacy sensitive;

code that thereafter sets an indicator, using the processor, denoting the media file as privacy-sensitive based on the identifying characteristics included in the media file designated as privacy sensitive;

code that, in an automated synchronization process, notifies a user regarding the indicator prior to permitting the media file to be stored on a cloud account device;

code that determines a user response to a notification of the indicator is not received within a predetermined time; and

code that automatically encrypts or obfuscates the data of the media file prior to permitting the media file to be stored on the cloud account device in the automated synchronization process, wherein the encrypting comprises applying an encryption factor to the media file that matches the encryption factor of the device irrespective of an encryption factor of the cloud account device, wherein the encrypting or obfuscating comprises distorting a face of a user included in the media file.
