Secure data pipeline for transferring sensitive data from cloud to local GPU processing

Secure Media Processor

A secure data pipeline for transferring sensitive data from cloud to local GPU processing

---

The Problem

You have sensitive data (medical images, confidential documents, research data) stored in the cloud. You need to process it on your local GPU workstation. How do you transfer it securely?

Traditional approaches leave data vulnerable:

• Cloud providers can access unencrypted data
• Data sits decrypted during processing
• No audit trail for compliance (HIPAA, GDPR)
• Sensitive files left on disk after processing

Secure Media Processor is a secure pipeline that ensures sensitive data is protected at every stage—from cloud storage to local GPU processing and cleanup.

Key Features

End-to-End Encryption

• AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption
• ECDH key exchange for multi-party transfers
• Zero-knowledge mode — cloud provider never sees plaintext

Multi-Cloud Support

• AWS S3
• Google Drive
• Dropbox
• Azure Blob Storage (coming soon)

Compliance Ready

• HIPAA/GDPR compliant audit logging
• Immutable audit trail with cryptographic verification
• Configurable retention policies

Secure by Default

• Multi-pass secure deletion (DoD 5220.22-M)
• Encrypted key storage
• Checksum verification on all transfers

Quick Start

Installation

pip install secure-media-processor

Basic Usage

from secure_media_processor import Pipeline, TransferMode

# Initialize secure pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline(
    encryption_key="~/.smp/keys/master.key",
    audit_log="~/.smp/audit/"
)

# Add your cloud source
pipeline.add_source('hospital', S3Connector(
    bucket_name='patient-scans',
    region='us-east-1'
))

# Secure download to local GPU workstation
manifest = pipeline.secure_download(
    source='hospital',
    remote_path='mri-scans/patient-001/',
    local_path='/secure/gpu-workspace/',
    mode=TransferMode.ZERO_KNOWLEDGE  # Maximum security
)

# Verify data integrity
assert pipeline.verify_integrity(manifest)

# Process locally on your GPU (your code here)
results = your_ml_model.process(manifest.destination)

# Secure cleanup when done
pipeline.secure_delete(manifest.destination)

Who Is This For?

• Medical researchers processing patient MRI/CT scans
• Healthcare organizations meeting HIPAA requirements
• Research institutions handling sensitive data
• Anyone who needs to securely move data to GPU for processing

Plugin Architecture

The core package focuses on secure data transfer. Domain-specific processing is handled by optional plugins:

# Medical imaging (DICOM, U-Net segmentation)
pip install secure-media-processor[medical]

# Video processing (coming soon)
pip install secure-media-processor[video]

Plugins process data locally after it has been securely transferred.

Security Model

Stage	Protection
At rest (cloud)	AES-256-GCM encryption
In transit	AES-256-GCM + TLS
At rest (local)	Encrypted with master key
Processing	Decrypted only in memory
Cleanup	Multi-pass secure deletion

Zero-Knowledge Transfer: In this mode, data is encrypted at the source (e.g., hospital) using a shared key derived via ECDH. The cloud provider never has access to the plaintext or decryption keys.

Compliance

HIPAA

• Audit logging with 6-year retention
• Access controls (local-only decryption)
• Encryption meets requirements

GDPR

• Data minimization support
• Right to erasure (secure deletion)
• Complete audit trail

CLI Usage

# Encrypt a file locally
smp encrypt sensitive-data.dcm encrypted.bin

# Download from cloud (decrypts locally)
smp download s3://bucket/path/file.enc ./local-file.dcm

# Secure delete
smp delete --secure ./sensitive-data.dcm

# View system info
smp info
