Abstract:
Examples described herein include systems and methods for performing distributed encryption across multiple devices. An example method can include a first device discovering a second device that shares a network. The device can identify data to be sent to a server and calculate a checksum for that data. The device can then split the data into multiple portions and send a portion to the second device, along with a certificate associated with the server for encrypting the data. The first device can encrypt the portion of data it retained. The first device can receive an encrypted version of the second portion of the data sent to the second device. The first device can merge these two portions and send the merged encrypted data to the server, along with the checksum value. The server can decrypt the data and confirm that it reflects the original set of data.
