摘要:
An approach is provided for building a scalable service platform by initiating transmission of encrypted data from a public network cache. An access control server platform determines a first authorization key for a user and a second authorization key for a resource, and then encrypts the resource with the second authorization key, and encrypts the second authorization key with the first authorization key. The access control server platform initiates distribution of the encrypted second authorization key with the encrypted resource over a network. The access control server platform further initiates caching the encrypted second authorization key with the encrypted resource that meets a predefined threshold value (e.g., a data size, an access frequency, a modification frequency, or an auditing requirement) in a cache in the network, and initiates transmission of the cached and encrypted second authorization key with the cached and encrypted resource from the cache to at least one authorized entity.

A method includes, in response to a need to access for a user certain stored data that requires authentication, sending a request for the stored data into a data cloud, the request not identifying the user. The method further includes receiving, from the data cloud, response information descriptive of an authentication realm and a single-use nonce; presenting the information descriptive of the authentication realm to the user and prompting the user for a user name and password; re-sending the request into the data cloud with an authentication header having user credentials generated at least in part using the response information, the user credentials comprising the user name and a hashed password; and if the user credentials are valid, receiving from the data cloud the requested stored data.
