Description
When document processing and storage is carried out in private or public cloud environments, the data is more vulnerable to external access than in a desktop system. Storage protection instruments are not always a sufficient measure as security of this information can still be breached by insiders or simply mishandled.
A possible and yet the only solution is client-side protection of the information itself, which is the data transfer in online editing, including collaboration between multiple users.
ONLYOFFICE project has developed the next generation of its desktop client that is not only able to encrypt documents in OOXML and OpenDocument formats end-to-end, but also connects to the cloud and performs immediate encryption actions in online editing and collaboration, protecting the data in transfer. The mechanics of this technology are based on blockchain.
This technology, combined with access regulation backed by JSON Web Token, adds an extra layer of data security which compliments the efforts in storage protection and monitoring.
This talk will cover the following topics:
-end-to-end encryption of documents,
-reliable password storing and transferring using blockchain technology with asymmetric encryption,
-secure file sharing and encrypted real-time co-editing within ONLYOFFICE collaboration platform,
-prospects of technology integration with third-party cloud platforms.
