A system for providing protected data storage in a data memory of a computing device has an encoder and a decoder. The encoder encrypts unencrypted data using encryption information to generate encrypted data, and stores the encrypted data and the encryption information in an allocated portion of the data memory. The decoder accesses the encrypted data and the encryption information from the allocated portion of the data memory, and decrypts the encrypted data using the encryption information to re-generate the unencrypted data. Each time the unencrypted data is read from the allocated portion of the data memory or the unencrypted data is to be written to the allocated portion of the data memory, the encoder re-encrypts the unencrypted data using newer encryption information to generate newer encrypted data, and replaces previous encrypted data and previous encryption information with the newer encrypted data and the newer encryption information, respectively, in the allocated portion of the data memory. The encoder and the decoder are integrated, so as to operate in a single thread of execution.

System and method for providing protected data storage in data memory

A system for protected data storage in a data memory of a computing device includes an encoder and a decoder. The encoder encrypts unencrypted data using encryption information to generate encrypted data, and stores the encrypted data and the encryption information in data memory. The decoder accesses the encrypted data and the encryption information from the data memory, and decrypts the encrypted data using the encryption information to re-generate the unencrypted data. Each time the unencrypted data is read from data memory or the unencrypted data is to be written to the data memory, the encoder re-encrypts the unencrypted data using newer encryption information to generate newer encrypted data, and replaces previous encrypted data and previous encryption information with the newer encrypted data and the newer encryption information, respectively, in the data memory.

A system for communicating data from a source device to a destination device where the source device has no direct access or has only restricted access to any data communication network. The system includes a network device that is to be coupled in communication with the source device, thereby enabling the source device to transfer to the network device the data to be communicated. The system also includes a network node configured to provide a network node service to a source client executing on the network device and to a destination client associated with the destination device. The network device is to be coupled in communication with the network node via a data communication network. The source client is configured to communicate the data to the destination device, by relaying the data through the network node service, when the destination client is connected to the network node service.
