Proxy computer system to provide selective decryption

1. A server system comprising:

a memory resource to store:

a set of instructions;

one or more processors to access the set of instructions from the memory resource to communicate with each of a client computer and a third-party network service in order to provide a proxy service for the client computer to utilize the third-party network service;

wherein the one or more processors provide the proxy service by:

receiving content intended for the client computer from the third-party network service;

analyzing the content to identify one or more sensitive portions of data in an encrypted format, wherein a remainder of the content is not recognized as being sensitive;

determining a risk metric for the client computer based at least in part on activity of the client computer;

upon determining that the risk metric indicates that the client computer is authorized to receive the sensitive portions of data, (i) decrypting the one or more sensitive portions of data, and (ii) sending the content, including the decrypted sensitive portions of data and the remainder of the content, to the client computer; and

upon determining that the risk metric indicates that the client computer is unauthorized to receive the sensitive portions of data, sending the content, including the sensitive portions of data in the encrypted format and the remainder of the content, to the client computer.

2. The server system of claim 1 , wherein the activity from the client computer analyzed to determine the risk metric for the client computer includes one or more past interactions with the proxy service or the third-party network service.

3. The server system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors determine a security integrity of the client computer and determine the risk metric based at least in part on the determined security integrity of the client computer.

4. The server system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors determine the risk metric based at least on one or more current activities of a user of the client computer, as detected on the client computer.

5. The server system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors analyze the activity from the client computer by building a usage profile of a user of the client computer, the usage profile identifying one or more usage parameters corresponding to at least one of (i) prior time intervals when the user accesses the third-party network service or the proxy service, or (ii) information that is indicative of a device, network address or physical location when the user previously accessed the third-party network service or the proxy service.

6. The server system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more processors determine the risk metric by comparing one or more usage parameters of a current user session with the usage profile.

7. The server system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors receive and scan a content submission of a user of the client computer to identify the one or more sensitive portions of data.

8. The server system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors encrypt the content submission before submitting the content to the third-party network service.

9. The server system of claim 1 , wherein the risk metric indicates that the client computer is unauthorized to receive the sensitive portions of data based on determining a security integrity or protection status of the client computer.

10. The server system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensitive portions of data were previously encrypted by the server system, and analyzing the content to identify the one or more sensitive portions of data includes determining that the one or more sensitive portions of data were previously encrypted by the server system.

11. A method for providing a proxy service between a client computer and a third-party network service, the method being implemented by one or more processors of a network computer system and comprising:

receiving content intended for the client computer from the third-party network service;

analyzing the content to identify one or more sensitive portions of data in an encrypted format, wherein a remainder of the content is not recognized as being sensitive;

determining a risk metric for the client computer based at least in part on activity of the client computer;

making a determination, based on the risk metric, as to whether the client computer is authorized to receive the sensitive portions of data; and

sending the content to the client computer, including sending the one or more sensitive portions of data in either encrypted form or decrypted form based on the determination.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the activity from the client computer analyzed to determine the risk metric for the client computer includes one or more past interactions with the proxy service or the third-party network service.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein analyzing the activity from the client computer includes a comparison of one or more detected current activities of a user of the client computer to the one or more past interactions with the proxy service or third-party network service.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein analyzing the activity from the client computer includes building a usage profile of a user of the client computer, the usage profile identifying one or more usage parameters corresponding to at least one of (i) prior time intervals when the user accesses the third-party network service or the proxy service, or (ii) information that is indicative of a device, network address or physical location when the user previously accessed the third-party network service or the proxy service.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the risk metric indicates that the client computer is unauthorized to receive the sensitive portions of data based on determining a security integrity or protection status of the client computer.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more sensitive portions of data were previously encrypted by the network computer system, and analyzing the content to identify the one or more sensitive portions of data includes determining that the one or more sensitive portions of data were previously encrypted by the network computer system.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations that include:

receiving content intended for a client computer from a third-party network service;

analyzing the content to identify one or more sensitive portions of data in an encrypted format, wherein a remainder of the content is not recognized as being sensitive;

determining a risk metric for the client computer based at least in part on activity of the client computer;

upon determining that the risk metric indicates that the client computer is authorized to receive the sensitive portions of data, (i) decrypting the one or more sensitive portions of data, and (ii) sending the content, including the decrypted sensitive portions of data and the remainder of the content, to the client computer; and

upon determining that the risk metric indicates that the client computer is unauthorized to receive the sensitive portions of data, sending the content, including the sensitive portions of data in the encrypted format and the remainder of the content, to the client computer.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the activity from the client computer analyzed to determine the risk metric for the client computer includes one or more past interactions with the computer system or the third-party network service.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the risk metric indicates that the client computer is unauthorized to receive the sensitive portions of data based on determining a security integrity or protection status of the client computer.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more sensitive portions of data were previously encrypted by the computer system, and analyzing the content to identify the one or more sensitive portions of data includes determining that the one or more sensitive portions of data were previously encrypted by the computer system.
