Abstract
A privacy key is provided over a network. An information page is provided over the network. A submission of data that is to be transmitted over the network in response to the information page is detected. A subset of the data is to be encrypted using the privacy key is determined. The privacy key is used to encrypt the subset of the data.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- detecting a first submission of data that is to be transmitted over a network;
- determining that a subset of the first submission of data is to be encrypted using a stored privacy key;
- retrieving the stored privacy key along with an identifier that is one of a plurality of identifiers for the stored privacy key;
- using the stored privacy key to encrypt the subset of the first submission of data;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted subset of the first submission of data and the identifier for the stored privacy key via the network;
- detecting a second submission of data that is to be transmitted over the network;
- determining that a subset of the second submission of data is to be encrypted using the stored privacy key;
- retrieving the stored privacy key from local storage along with a second identifier of the plurality of identifiers for the stored privacy key;
- using the stored privacy key to encrypt the subset of the second submission of data;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted subset of the second submission of data and the second identifier for the stored privacy key via the network.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a privacy key and an information page over a network;
- detecting a first submission of data that is to be transmitted over the network in response to the information page;
- determining that a subset of the first submission of data is to be encrypted using the privacy key;
- using the privacy key to encrypt the subset of the first submission of data;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted subset of the first submission of data and an identifier that is one of a plurality of identifiers for the privacy key to a remote device over the network,
- wherein the identifier for the privacy key is a concatenated string of the privacy key and another string that has been encrypted;
- detecting a second submission of data that is to be transmitted over the network;
- determining that a subset of the second submission of data is to be encrypted using the privacy key;
- using the privacy key to encrypt the subset of the second submission of data;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted subset of the second submission of data and a second identifier for the privacy key via the network.

A system, comprising a computing device having a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor whereby the computing device is configured to:
- receive a privacy key and an information page over a network;
- detect a first submission of data that is to be transmitted over the network in response to the information page;
- determine that a subset of the first submission of data is to be encrypted using the privacy key;
- use the privacy key to encrypt the subset of the first submission of data;
- and
- transmit the encrypted subset of the first submission of data and an identifier that is one of a plurality of identifiers for the privacy key to a remote device over the network, wherein the identifier for the privacy key is a concatenated string of the privacy key and another string that has been encrypted;
- detect a second submission of data that is to be transmitted over the network;
- determine that a subset of the second submission of data is to be encrypted using the privacy key;
- use the privacy key to encrypt the subset of the second submission of data;
- and
- transmit the encrypted subset of the second submission of data and a second identifier for the privacy key via the network.
