Abstract
A method and system for managing data security in a computing environment. A processor at the gateway server receives, from a user device, at least one message. Each message requests that an encryption key be downloaded to the user device. The gateway server interfaces between the user device and a cloud that includes interconnected computing systems external to the user device. In response to the received at least one message, the processor generates at least one unique encryption key for each message and sends the at least one generated encryption key to the user device, but does not store any of the generated encryption keys in the cloud. For each encryption key having been sent to the user device, the processor receives each encryption key returned from the user device. For each encryption key received from the user device, the processor stores each received encryption key in the cloud.
