    Abstract: Some embodiments of the subject technology provide a novel system for synchronizing content items among a group of peer devices. The content synchronizing system of some embodiments includes the group of peer devices and a set of one or more synchronizing servers communicatively connected with the peer devices through one or more networks. In some embodiments, the synchronizing system uses a star architecture, in which each peer device offloads its synchronization operations to the synchronizing server set. Without establishing a peer-to-peer communication with any other peer device, the particular peer device in these embodiments supplies an encrypted content item set along with the N−1 encryptions of a content key used to encrypt the content item set to the synchronizing server set so that this server set can distribute the encrypted content item set and an encrypted content key to each of the N−1 peer devices.

    Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for implementing a cloud service that enables cloud data to be shared between different users in a secure manner. One embodiment involves a sharing manager and a sharing client, where the sharing manager is configured to manage various data components stored within a storage system managed by the cloud service. These data components can include user accounts, share objects (for sharing data between users—and, in some cases, public users not known to the sharing manager)—as well as various “wrapping objects” that enable data to be logically separated in an organized manner within the storage system. According to this approach, the sharing client is configured to interface with the sharing manager in order to carry out various encryption/decryption techniques that enable the cloud data to be securely shared between the users.

    Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for enabling a computing device to cure a configuration issue associated with an auxiliary computing device. According to some embodiments, the technique can include the steps of (1) receiving, from the auxiliary computing device, a request to repair the configuration issue, where the request includes device information associated with the auxiliary computing device, and (2) in response to determining, based on the device information, that the auxiliary computing device is known to the computing device: (i) establishing a secure communication link with the auxiliary computing device, (ii) identifying at least one problem associated with the configuration issue, (iii) generating repair information based on the at least one problem, and (iv) transmitting the repair information to the auxiliary computing device over the secure communication link to cause the auxiliary computing device to cure the at least one problem.

    Abstract: The subject technology may be implemented by a device that includes at least one processor configured to encrypt a data object based at least in part on an encryption key. The at least one processor may be further configured to sign the encrypted data object with a private key and transmit the signed encrypted data object to a server for retrieval by another device. The at least one processor may be further configured to generate a sharing object corresponding to the data object, wherein the sharing object includes an encryption key and a public key that corresponds to the private key. The at least one processor may be further configured to encrypt the sharing object using a key of the other device and transmit, over a secure channel, the encrypted sharing object to the other device for subsequent retrieval and verification of the signed data object from the server.
