Systems and methods for creating enhanced documents for perfect automated parsing

A document parsing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory in communication with the processor, the memory having a plurality of instructions stored thereon,
• where the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive an enhanced document at the document parsing system, the enhanced document having nonvisible metadata embedded therein;
• examine a document file type of the enhanced document to determine if the enhanced document is one of a predefined list of document types for which verification is required to determine if the enhanced document has been modified or not;
• extract encoded content from the nonvisible metadata embedded in the enhanced document;
• and
• transmit the encoded content as a structured document to a document submission platform,
• wherein the metadata is stored as ID and value pairs, and wherein the processor in extracting the encoded content is further configured to execute the instructions to:
• access one or more encrypted byte string segments in the embedded metadata of the enhanced document, each encrypted byte string segment having an associated identifier;
• assemble the one or more encrypted byte string segments into an encrypted byte string;
• select an initial portion of the encrypted byte string as an encryption salt and initialization vector, and truncating the initial portion from the encrypted byte string;
• obtain an encryption password from an encryption password database;
• and
• decrypt the truncated encrypted byte string using a decryption key generated using the encryption password, salt and initialization vector according to a decryption algorithm to obtain content encoded in accordance with a defined document schema, the encoded content comprising one or more elements, having one or more fields and corresponding field values.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions, the instructions being executable by a processor to:

• receive an enhanced document at the document parsing system, the enhanced document having nonvisible metadata embedded therein;
• examine a document file type of the enhanced document to determine if the enhanced document is one of a predefined list of document types for which verification is required to determine if the enhanced document has been modified or not;
• extract encoded content from the metadata embedded in the enhanced document;
• and
• transmit the encoded content as a structured document to a document submission platform,
• wherein the metadata is stored as ID and value pairs, and wherein the instructions for extracting the encoded content are further executable to:
• access one or more encrypted byte string segments in the embedded metadata of the enhanced document, each encrypted byte string segment having an associated identifier;
• assemble the one or more encrypted byte string segments into an encrypted byte string;
• select an initial portion of the encrypted byte string as an encryption salt and initialization vector, and truncating the initial portion from the encrypted byte string;
• obtain an encryption password from an encryption password database;
• and
• decrypt the truncated encrypted byte string using a decryption key generated using the encryption password, salt and initialization vector according to a decryption algorithm to obtain content encoded in accordance with a defined document schema, the encoded content comprising one or more elements, having one or more fields and corresponding field values.
