Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices configured to build and utilize an intelligent cipher transfer object are provided. The intelligent cipher transfer object includes a set of participants protected by cloaking patterns. A portable dynamic rule set, which includes executable code for managing access to the protected set of participants, is included within the intelligent cipher transfer object. For a given user, the intelligent cipher transfer object may provide access to some of the participants while preventing access to other participants, based on the portable dynamic rule set therein.
Claims20
A computer-implemented system for improved security of data, comprising:
- at least one processor, including hardware and software, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive a computer-based intelligent cipher transfer object comprising:
- owner data secured by one or more inner cloaking patterns, and
- a portable dynamic rule set, said portable dynamic rule set comprising a machine-executable code secured by one or more outer cloaking patterns,
- receive, from an external agent, a request to access some or all of the owner data;
- reverse the outer cloaking patterns to retrieve the machine-executable code;
- and
- activate the portable dynamic rule set by executing the machine-executable code, thereby causing the at least one processor to:
- verify, using portable dynamic rule set, that the external agent is authorized to access some or all of the owner data as requested, and
- upon verifying that the external agent is authorized, provide access to some or all of the owner data for which the external agent has been verified for access by reversing at least a portion of the one or more inner cloaking patterns.
A computer implemented system for improved security using digital signatures or verifications, comprising:
- at least one processor, including hardware and software, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive a computer-based intelligent cipher transfer object comprising a portable dynamic rule set, said portable dynamic rule set comprising machine-executable code secured by one or more outer cloaking patterns,
- reverse the outer cloaking patterns to retrieve the machine-executable code, and
- activate the portable dynamic rule set by executing the machine-executable code, thereby causing the at least one processor to:
- verify, using portable dynamic rule set, an identity of an external agent,
- upon verifying the identity of the external agent, storing data indicative of the identity of the external agent in the computer-based intelligent cipher transfer object, and
- securing the data indicative of the identity of the external agent using one or more inner cloaking patterns.
