US 9,665,638 B2 · Systems and methods for secure storage of user information in a user profile

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for securely storing information of a user in a user profile to prevent access to the information and minimize the amount of information disclosed during a security breach. Information pertaining to a user is obtained from one or more sources and organized into a user profile and securely stored in a database. The user profile can be stored remotely in a cloud-based system at a remote encrypted server, with portions of the profile stored in separate locations with separate encryption to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to one portion of the information. The fields of data in the user profile can also be separately encrypted with separate encryption keys and separately stored in separate databases to minimize the amount of information which could be disclosed by the unauthorized access to a single encryption key or a single database.
