US 10,949,566 B2 · Individual data unit and methods and systems for enhancing the security of user data

Abstract

An individual data unit for enhancing the security of a user data record is provided that includes a processor and a memory configured to store data. The individual data unit is associated with a network and the memory is in communication with the processor. The memory has instructions stored thereon which, when read and executed by the processor cause the individual data unit to perform basic operations only. The basic operations include communicating securely with computing devices, computer systems, and a central user data server. Moreover, the basic operations include receiving a user data record, storing the user data record, retrieving the user data record, and transmitting the user data record. The individual data unit can be located in a geographic location associated with the user which can be different than the geographic locations of the computer systems and the central user data server.
