Protecting Documents with Sticky Policies and Identity-Based Encryption

Spyra, Grzegorz; Buchanan, William J

Abstract

Documents are increasingly being held in public cloud-based systems, and there thus increasingly exposed to accesses from malicious entities. This paper focuses on the integration of sticky policies that are embedded into OOXML (Open Office XML) protecting each of the elements of a data package. Along with this it combines with Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) to securely attach the sticky policy onto data.
