Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, an apparatus, and a system for protecting cloud data security. A key management center encrypts original data M sent by a first terminal using a key K, and uploads encrypted data C1 to a cloud server. When the key management center receives a request from a second terminal for the data M, it generates encrypted data C2, which is generated by first encrypting C1 with a key Kb of the second terminal and then decrypted by the key K that was used to encrypt the original data M to generate C1. The key management center then sends the encrypted data C2 to the second terminal. The second terminal decrypts the encrypted data C2 using its own key Kb to obtain the original data M.
