    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a first device to synchronize a set of data items with a second device. The method receives a request to synchronize the set of data items stored on the first device with the second device. The method determines a subset of the synchronization data items stored on the first device that belong to at least one synchronization sub-group in which the second device participates. Participation in at least one of the synchronization sub-groups is defined based on membership in at least one verification sub-group. The first and second devices are part of a set of related devices with several different verification sub-groups. The method sends only the subset of the synchronization data items that belong to at least one synchronization sub-group in which the second device participates to the second device using a secure channel.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to securely storing data in a computing device. In one embodiment, a computing device includes a secure circuit configured to maintain key bags for a plurality of users, each associated with a respective one of the plurality of users and including a first set of keys usable to decrypt a second set of encrypted keys for decrypting data associated with the respective user. The secure circuit is configured to receive an indication that an encrypted file of a first of the plurality of users is to be accessed and use a key in a key bag associated with the first user to decrypt an encrypted key of the second set of encrypted keys. The secure circuit is further configured to convey the decrypted key to a memory controller configured to decrypt the encrypted file upon retrieval from a memory.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a first device that identifies definitions of different groups of devices, each of which is defined by a set of properties required for a device to be a member. The method monitors properties of the first device to determine when the device is eligible for membership in a group. When the first device is eligible for membership in a first group of which the device is not a member, the method sends an application for membership in the first group signed with at least a private key of the device to at least one other device that is a member of the first group. When the first device becomes ineligible for membership in a second group of which the first device is a member, the method removes the device from the second group and notifies other devices that are members of the second group.
