SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PROTECT SENSITIVE DATA AT PROCESSING INTERMEDIARIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17540747 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PROTECT SENSITIVE DATA AT PROCESSING INTERMEDIARIES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system, platform, program product, or method for protecting sensitive data. It involves decrypting an incoming message, removing the sensitive data, encrypting it, and storing it in an In-Memory Cache. The stripped message can then be processed without the sensitive data. The system also allows for retrieving and decrypting the encrypted data from the cache and injecting it back into the stripped message. Additionally, it enables encrypting the outbound message with the sensitive data and sending it to an external computing system.

  • Decrypt incoming message containing sensitive electronic data
  • Remove sensitive electronic data to create a stripped message
  • Encrypt the sensitive electronic data
  • Store encrypted data in In-Memory Cache
  • Process the stripped message without sensitive data
  • Retrieve and decrypt the encrypted data from the cache
  • Inject the sensitive electronic data back into the stripped message
  • Encrypt outbound message with sensitive electronic data
  • Send encrypted outbound message to an external computing system

Potential Applications

  • Data protection in communication systems
  • Secure transmission of sensitive information
  • Privacy enhancement in messaging platforms

Problems Solved

  • Protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access
  • Safeguarding information during transmission
  • Preventing data breaches and leaks

Benefits

  • Enhanced data security and privacy
  • Efficient processing of messages without sensitive data
  • Secure storage and retrieval of encrypted information
  • Seamless integration with external computing systems


Original Abstract Submitted

A system, platform, program product, and/or method for protecting sensitive data including decrypting an incoming message comprising a base message and the sensitive electronic data; removing the sensitive electronic data from the incoming message to create a stripped message; encrypting the sensitive electronic data; storing the encrypted sensitive electronic data in In-Memory Cache; and permitting the stripped message to be further processed without the sensitive electronic data. The system, platform, program product and/or method in an embodiment further includes: retrieving from the In-Memory Cache the encrypted sensitive electronic data; decrypting the encrypted sensitive electronic data retrieved from the In-Memory Cache; and injecting the sensitive electronic data into the stripped message. In a further aspect the system, platform, program product and/or method further includes encrypting the outbound message with the sensitive electronic data and permitting the encrypted outbound message with the sensitive electronic data to reach an external computing system.
