Abstract
In one embodiment, a proxy receives, from a client node, a file to be stored by a cloud storage server, where the proxy and the client node are part of a private network that does not include the cloud storage server. The proxy retrieves an encryption key associated with a user of the client node and encrypts the file using the encryption key. The proxy then transmits the encrypted file to the cloud storage server.
