Embodiment Construction

[0038] The described methods and systems enable the use of external processing to process sensitive data in applications. The method enables the use of a remote entity, such as in a cloud, distributed environment or other external processing environment, to perform processing of the integrated stream without any sensitive data leaving the secure processing environment.

[0039] In one embodiment, cloud-provisioned compute instances can be used to perform bulk processing of existing integration flows without any sensitive data leaving the enterprise's on-premises data center.

[0040] refer to figure 1 , a block diagram illustrating an example environment 100 in which the described system may be implemented. The secure environment system 110 may be provided, for example, in the form of a locally deployed computing system or a network of systems. Such a secure environment system 110 may be protected by firewalls and other security measures to ensure that confidential or sensit...

Abstract

Method and system are provided for handling sensitive data in an application using external processing. The method carried out at a secure environment includes: processing an application in a secure environment wherein the application is capable of sending a request message for processing to an external processing location, a request message including data aspects; identifying sensitive data in adata aspect of a request message for processing; tokenizing the sensitive data in a data aspect by replacing the sensitive data with tokenized data and storing a mapping between the sensitive data andthe tokenized data in the secure environment; sending the request message for processing including the tokenized data to an external processing location; receiving a processed message from the external processing location including annotations for the tokenized data with transform instructions for the tokenized data; and replacing the tokenized data with the sensitive data and performing the transform instructions on the sensitive data.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to sensitive data protection and, more particularly, to the use of external processing to handle sensitive data in applications. [0002] Many enterprises are looking to run some of their computing processing on hardware provided by outside agencies to reduce capital expenditures and be more agile in their response to variable demands for capacity. The biggest barriers to moving processing to the cloud are security and privacy. [0003] A typical example of an application integration processing style is an application in a secure local environment that requires some processing or information provided by an external service. This information is obtained by the application sending a request message to an external service. Request messages may contain sensitive information that is required for service operation. The service can return a response message to the application. [0004] Typically, this use case requires int...
