Secure data transmission using natural language

A first electronic device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• receiving a request that requires use of sensitive information for a user, wherein the sensitive information includes a respective value at each of one or more places, each of the one or more values selected from a respective set of possible values for the respective place;
• receiving a natural language key for the user, wherein the natural language key comprises a plurality of natural language tokens, and
• receiving, from a second electronic device, decoding data for the user, wherein, for each of the respective values at each of the one or more places in the sensitive information, the decoding data specifies a respective natural language token for each respective value;
• decoding the natural language key into the sensitive information, wherein decoding the natural language key into the sensitive information comprises:
• for each of the one or more places in the sensitive information, mapping a corresponding natural language token in the natural language key to the respective value specified in the decoding data for the respective natural language token;
• and
• processing the request using the decoded sensitive information.

A method comprising:

• at a first electronic device having one or more processors:
• receiving a request that requires use of sensitive information for a user, wherein the sensitive information includes a respective value at each of one or more places, each of the one or more values selected from a respective set of possible values for the respective place;
• receiving a natural language key for the user, wherein the natural language key comprises a plurality of natural language tokens, and
• receiving, from a second electronic device, decoding data for the user, wherein, for each of the respective values at each of the one or more places in the sensitive information, the decoding data specifies a respective natural language token for each respective value;
• decoding the natural language key into the sensitive information, wherein decoding the natural language key into the sensitive information comprises:
• for each of the one or more places in the sensitive information, mapping a corresponding natural language token in the natural language key to the respective value specified in the decoding data for the respective natural language token;
• and
• processing the request using the decoded sensitive information.
