Abstract
A watchlisting module is configured to securely and efficiently create, modify, manage, and store a watchlist. The watchlisting module is configured to generate a watchlist consisting of watchlist entries. Each watchlist entry encapsulates information about an entity to be associated with the watchlist. The watchlist entry includes information about the entity including a unique identifier for the watchlist, a unique identifier of the watchlist entry, a unique identifier for the entity, and access control information for membership process related to the watchlist. The watchlist entry also includes a State Lock. Watchlisting module is configured to utilize the State Lock to secure and verify a watchlist entry.
Claims21
A method for tracking entities, comprising:
- receiving a request to create a watchlist including an entity associated with the watchlist;
- providing an interface for entering information about the watchlist, the information comprising access control information for controlling access to processes associated with the watchlist;
- generating a first unique identifier for identifying the watchlist;
- generating a second unique identifier for identifying a watchlist entry;
- generating the watchlist including the watchlist entry, the watchlist entry comprising an identity of the entity, the first unique identifier, the second unique identifier, a third unique identifier for identifying the entity, and the access control information;
- storing the generated watchlist;
- generating a state key for the watchlist entry, the state key comprising the first unique identifier, the second unique identifier, the third unique identifier, and the access control information;
- and
- encrypting the state key to generate a state lock.
6 more elements
A method for tracking entities, comprising:
- maintaining at least one watchlist in a repository, the at least one watchlist comprising a plurality of watchlist entities, wherein each watchlist entry of the plurality of watchlist entries comprises an identity of an entity associated with the watchlist, a first unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist, a second unique identifier for identifying the watchlist entry, a third unique identifier for identifying the entity, and access control information for controlling access to processes associated with each of the plurality of watchlist entries;
- providing interfaces for interacting with the at least one watchlist, wherein the interfaces allow a user to interact with the at least one watchlist;
- retrieving information from the at least one watchlist in the repository in response to user interaction with the interfaces;
- and
- providing the retrieved information to the user;
- wherein maintaining the at least one watchlist, comprises:
- generating a state key for at least one watchlist entry, the state key comprising a first unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist, a second unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist entry, a third unique identifier for identifying a stored entity associated with the at least one watchlist entry, and access control information for controlling access to processes associated with the at least one watchlist entry;
- and
- encrypting the state key to generate a state lock.
6 more elements
A system for tracking entities, comprising:
- at least one watchlist in a repository, the at least one watchlist comprising a plurality of watchlist entities, wherein each watchlist entry of the plurality of watchlist entries comprises an identity of an entity associated with the watchlist, a first unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist, a second unique identifier for identifying the watchlist entry, a third unique identifier for identifying the entity, and access control information for controlling access to processes associated with each of the plurality of watchlist entries;
- and
- a watchlisting module coupled to the repository and configured to maintain the at least one watchlist, the watchlisting module comprising:
- a watchlisting engine configured to retrieve information from the at least one watchlist in the repository;
- and
- an application interface configured to provide interfaces for interacting with the at least one watchlist, wherein the interfaces allow a user to interact with the at least one watchlist;
- wherein the watchlisting engine is further configured to:
- generate a state key for at least one watchlist entry, the state key comprising a first unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist, a second unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist entry, a third unique identifier for identifying a stored entity associated with the at least one watchlist entry, and access control information for controlling access to processes associated with the at least one watchlist entry;
- and
- encrypt the state key to generate a state lock.
7 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing a computer to perform a method for tracking entities, the method comprising:
- maintaining at least one watchlist in a repository, the at least one watchlist comprising a plurality of watchlist entities, wherein each watchlist entry of the plurality of watchlist entries comprises an identity of an entity associated with the watchlist, a first unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist, a second unique identifier for identifying the watchlist entry, a third unique identifier for identifying the entity, and access control information for controlling access to processes associated with each of the plurality of watchlist entries;
- providing interfaces for interacting with the at least one watchlist, wherein the interfaces allow a user to interact with the at least one watchlist;
- retrieving information from the at least one watchlist in the repository in response to user interaction with the interfaces;
- and
- providing the retrieved information to the user;
- wherein maintaining the at least one watchlist, comprises:
- generating a state key for at least one watchlist entry, the state key comprising a first unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist, a second unique identifier for identifying the at least one watchlist entry, a third unique identifier for identifying a stored entity associated with the at least one watchlist entry, and access control information for controlling access to processes associated with the at least one watchlist entry;
- and
- encrypting the state key to generate a state lock.
