Abstract
A system for managing user-controlled security keys in cloud-based scenarios is provided. In some implementations, the system performs operations comprising receiving an information request from a user device via a network, and generating a database query based at least in part upon the information request. The operations can comprise generating a request for a secret key for decrypting encrypted data when the database query requests the encrypted data and/or generating a request for a secret key for encrypting data when the database query requests to encrypt data. The operations can also comprise providing the request to a security key management entity via a network, receiving secret key information from the security key management entity via the network, and using the secret key information to form decrypted data or encrypted data. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
