Using Parsing Agents as a Service for Data Privacy

Abstract

Storing data in the cloud is often a long and disputed process of ensuring that cloud service providers meet the clients minimum requirements. Often, this process can be costly, lack adequate results, and miss important security checks that are often overlooked. Therefore, I propose a new strategy for meeting cloud security requirements through using a dynamic parsing agent to encrypt outgoing data using a "multi-folded" encryption hierarchy. While there are limitations to being truly secure, such as those recognized by WhiteHat Security in their annual reports[1], I believe my unique architecture will prove to be ideal in allowing any mobile device (i.e. User) to define how their data is stored in the cloud. Although we have found this approach useful for the mobile space, we believe it can also be applied to a variety of different audiences in need of a cloud data encryption system.
