Abstract
The described implementations relate to secure and verifiable data handling. One implementation can receive a request to add information from a drop-off site to a user account. The request can include a location element and a security element. This implementation can also obtain encrypted units of the referenced data from the drop-off site based upon the location element. This implementation can associate the information with the user account and store the security element.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- negotiating parameters for uploading patient information to a drop-off site, wherein the patient information comprises a referencing element and associated referenced data that is not included in the referencing element;
- unitizing the referenced data based upon at least one of the negotiated parameters;
- signing the referenced data and the referencing element;
- encrypting individual units of the referenced data with a patient password;
- and,
- uploading the encrypted individual units to the drop-off site effective that only an entity possessing the negotiated parameters and the patient password can access the encoded individual units.
At least one computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform acts, comprising:
- receiving a request to add information from a drop-off site to a user account, wherein the request includes a location element and a security element;
- obtaining encrypted units of referenced data of the information from the drop-off site based upon the location element;
- associating the information with the user account;
- and,
- storing the security element.
A system, comprising:
- a communication component configured to receive a request for a citation to a data container at a drop-off site, the data container configured to receive information that includes a referencing element, associated unitized encrypted referenced data and associated metadata;
- and,
- a security component configured to retrieve the information from the drop-off site and to further encrypt individual units of the unitized encrypted referenced data.
