WITDOM Protection Orchestrator

The Protection Orchestrator (PO) coordinates several protection components and services in order to effectively protect data before they leave a trusted environment for processing or storing reasons. The PO is in charge of parsing the protection configuration of an application and applying it. This is done by building requests to Protection Components deployed in the trusted domain and calling them for protecting the input data that a service in the untrusted domain will need, or for unprotecting the results after a service in the untrusted domain has processed them.
