Abstract

A method including determining, by a first device for a folder, a folder access key pair including a folder access public key and a folder access private key; determining, by the first device, a sharing encryption key based on the folder access private key and an assigned public key associated with a second device; and encrypting, by the first device, the folder access private key based on utilizing the sharing encryption key; determining, by a second device, a sharing decryption key based on the folder access public key and an assigned private key associated with the second device; decrypting, by the second device, the folder access private key based on utilizing the sharing decryption key; and accessing, by the second device, the folder based on utilizing the folder access private key. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Claims (62)

1. A method, comprising:

determining, by a first device for a folder, a folder access key pair including a folder access public key and a folder access private key;

determining, by the first device, a sharing encryption key based at least in part on combining the folder access private key and an assigned public key associated with a second device; and

encrypting, by the first device, the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the sharing encryption key;

determining, by a second device, a sharing decryption key based at least in part on combining the folder access public key and an assigned private key associated with the second device;

decrypting, by the second device, the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the sharing decryption key; and

accessing, by the second device, the folder based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sharing encryption key is symmetric with the sharing decryption key.

3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

decrypting, by the second device, encrypted content associated with the folder based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the second device, a master key based at least in part on a master string of alphanumeric characters associated with the second device; and

decrypting, by the second device, the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the master key.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

encrypting, by the first device, a content access private key associated with encrypted content based at least in part on utilizing the folder access public key; and

decrypting, by the second device, the encrypted content based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the first device, encrypted sample data, the sample data being encrypted by utilizing the assigned public key associated with the second device; and

transmitting, by the second device, decrypted sample data, the sample data being decrypted by utilizing the assigned private key associated with the second device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the folder is a virtual folder.

8. A system, comprising:

a first device configured to:

determine, for a folder, a folder access key pair including a folder access public key and a folder access private key;

determine a sharing encryption key based at least in part on combining the folder access private key and an assigned public key associated with a second device; and

encrypt the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the sharing encryption key; and

a second device configured to:

determine a sharing decryption key based at least in part on combining the folder access public key and an assigned private key associated with the second device;

decrypt the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the sharing decryption key; and

access the folder based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the sharing encryption key is symmetric with the sharing decryption key.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second device is configured to:

decrypt encrypted content associated with the folder based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second device is configured to:

determine a master key based at least in part on a master string of alphanumeric characters associated with the second device; and

decrypt the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the master key.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein

the first device is configured to encrypt a content access private key associated with encrypted content based at least in part on utilizing the folder access public key, and

the second device is configured to decrypt the encrypted content based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein

the first device is configured to transmit encrypted sample data, the sample data being encrypted by utilizing the assigned public key associated with the second device, and

the second device is configured to transmit decrypted sample data, the sample data being decrypted by utilizing the assigned private key associated with the second device.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the folder is a virtual folder.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a first processor associated with a first device, configure the first processor to:

determine, for a folder, a folder access key pair including a folder access public key and a folder access private key;

determine a sharing encryption key based at least in part on combining the folder access private key and an assigned public key associated with a second device; and

encrypt the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the sharing encryption key; and

when executed by a second processor associated with a second device, configure the second processor to:

determine a sharing decryption key based at least in part on combining the folder access public key and an assigned private key associated with the second device;

decrypt the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the sharing decryption key; and

access the folder based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the sharing encryption key is symmetric with the sharing decryption key.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second processor is configured to:

decrypt encrypted content associated with the folder based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second processor is configured to:

determine a master key based at least in part on a master string of alphanumeric characters associated with the second device; and

decrypt the folder access private key based at least in part on utilizing the master key.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein

the first processor is configured to encrypt a content access private key associated with encrypted content based at least in part on utilizing the folder access public key, and

the second processor is configured to decrypt the encrypted content based at least in part on utilizing the folder access private key.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein

the first processor is configured to transmit encrypted sample data, the sample data being encrypted by utilizing the assigned public key associated with the second device, and

the second processor is configured to transmit decrypted sample data, the sample data being decrypted by utilizing the assigned private key associated with the second device.
