Patent attributes
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for indexing and searching an encrypted archive. In one exemplary aspect, a method comprises generating, by a hardware processor, an encrypted data archive based on a user backup performed using a backup plan with an encryption flag enabled and a user key; generating, by the hardware processor, an index key for the encrypted data archive; encrypting, by the hardware processor, the index key using the user key; storing, by the hardware processor, the index key in a secure data storage; creating and mounting, by the hardware processor, an encrypted file system folder for the encrypted data archive using the index key; decrypting, by the hardware processor, data in the encrypted data archive using the user key; and indexing, by the hardware processor, the decrypted data.
