Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for encryption key management within a group-based communication platform.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for encryption key management within a group-based communication system

Media, system, and method for providing encryption key management to a channel within a group-based communication system. The contents of the channel is encrypted according to the encryption key management policy of the organization to which the author of the content belongs and is stored in a data store. Responsive to a revocation request from a first organization, the encryption keys associated with any content in the channel submitted by the authors of said first organization may be revoked from a second organization, such that users of the second organization no longer have access to the content.

Encryption key management for channels with multiple organizations

Media, method, and system for providing encryption key management for international data residency. Organizations using a group-based communication system can designate a particular geopolitical area where that organization's data can be stored and another geopolitical area (which may be the same or different) where encryption keys used to encrypt and decrypt that data should be stored. Users of that organization can post message or access messages previously posted on the group-based communication system from any geopolitical area, causing the system to automatically store and retrieve messages and encryption keys from the appropriate regions to allow the users to transparently access the group-based communication system while maintaining security and data residency requirements.
