Multi-identity graphical user interface for secure file sharing

nCrypted Cloud LLC, Boston, MA, has been assigned a patent (9,659,184) developed by Odnovorov, Igor, Walpole, MA, and Stamos, Nicholas, Belmont, MA, for a “multi-identity graphical user interface for secure file sharing.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “In the approaches described herein, a data file storage service may control access to file system objects using corresponding ‘personal’ or organization-related ‘work’ identity information which may include encryption keys or passwords. To assist the user with identifying respective file system objects, the user is presented with a corresponding graphical user interface, (GUI) which displays a corresponding personal or work identity icon next to a visual rendering of the file system objects. Keys that control access to work identity files and folders are purged from a local key store as soon as user authorization changes are detected. In this way, even a user who originated a data file will not be able to decrypt files stored in a folder shared using a work identity once that identity is canceled by the organization, while at the same time, the user’s access to their personal files may continue.

The patent application was filed on April 17, 2015 (14/689,202).
