Abstract

A system is provided for detection and mitigation of unauthorized reproduction of sensitive electronic data. In particular, the system may comprise a networked environment with various computing devices that may be used to store, process, and/or transfer sensitive electronic data. When a user accesses the sensitive data, the contents of the data may be presented as a series of micro dots or pixels. The system may be configured to display rapidly change at least a portion of the micro dots or pixels at a high frequency, such that a snapshot of the sensitive data taken at a singular point in time will not be able to capture all of the data needed to make the data readable to the user. In this way, the system may be able to prevent the unauthorized reproduction of sensitive data within the network environment.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for detection and mitigation of unauthorized reproduction of sensitive electronic data, the system comprising:

a processing device;
a non-transitory storage device containing instructions when executed by the processing device, causes the processing device to perform the steps of:
receiving a request from a user computing device to access a data file containing sensitive information;
generating a reference frame comprising a matrix of pixels in a reference configuration for displaying contents of the data file;
initiating an obfuscation process for obfuscating the sensitive information in the data file, the obfuscation process comprising:
generating a first frame, wherein the first frame comprises a matrix of pixels for displaying a first altered configuration of the data file, wherein attributes of at least a portion of the pixels within the first frame are altered with respect to the reference frame;
generating a second frame, wherein the second frame comprises a matrix of pixels for displaying a second altered configuration of the data file, wherein attributes of at least a portion of the pixels within the second frame are altered with respect to the reference frame and the first frame;
and
presenting the first frame on a display device of the user computing device, and subsequently presenting the second frame on the display device after a designated interval between the second frame and the first frame.

A computer program product for detection and mitigation of unauthorized reproduction of sensitive electronic data, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing an apparatus to perform the steps of:

receiving a request from a user computing device to access a data file containing sensitive information;
generating a reference frame comprising a matrix of pixels in a reference configuration for displaying contents of the data file;
initiating an obfuscation process for obfuscating the sensitive information in the data file, the obfuscation process comprising:
generating a first frame, wherein the first frame comprises a matrix of pixels for displaying a first altered configuration of the data file, wherein attributes of at least a portion of the pixels within the first frame are altered with respect to the reference frame;
generating a second frame, wherein the second frame comprises a matrix of pixels for displaying a second altered configuration of the data file, wherein attributes of at least a portion of the pixels within the second frame are altered with respect to the reference frame and the first frame;
and
presenting the first frame on a display device of the user computing device, and subsequently presenting the second frame on the display device after a designated interval between the second frame and the first frame.

4 more elements

A computer-implemented method for detection and mitigation of unauthorized reproduction of sensitive electronic data, the computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving a request from a user computing device to access a data file containing sensitive information;
generating a reference frame comprising a matrix of pixels in a reference configuration for displaying contents of the data file;
initiating an obfuscation process for obfuscating the sensitive information in the data file, the obfuscation process comprising:
generating a first frame, wherein the first frame comprises a matrix of pixels for displaying a first altered configuration of the data file, wherein attributes of at least a portion of the pixels within the first frame are altered with respect to the reference frame;
generating a second frame, wherein the second frame comprises a matrix of pixels for displaying a second altered configuration of the data file, wherein attributes of at least a portion of the pixels within the second frame are altered with respect to the reference frame and the first frame;
and
presenting the first frame on a display device of the user computing device, and subsequently presenting the second frame on the display device after a designated interval between the second frame and the first frame.
