Systems and methods for the secure sharing of data

Abstract

In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method for sharing tasks over one or more computer networks is disclosed. The method includes providing a task created on a first computer system located in a first network, the task comprising content information and metadata information. The task can be shared with a user of a second network that is different from the first network. The method can include transmitting the metadata information of the task to a second computer system in the second network over the one or more computer networks without transmitting the content information, the metadata information comprising at least a task identifier. The method can include receiving a request from the user to access the task. The method can include verifying that the user is a task participant. The content information of the task can be securely presented to the user over the one or more computer networks.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for secure sharing of data across one or more networks. Background technique [0002] A global communication network enables users to collaborate on projects regardless of whether the collaborating users are in close proximity to each other or thousands of miles apart. Users may collaborate via one or more networks using real-time communication tools (eg, voice communication and online instant messaging) or using time-delayed communication tools (eg, email). When collaborating on projects, it is important to ensure that private data related to users and / or projects remains private. [0003] Also, in the e-mail system, it is difficult to share content data and manage assignment of tasks in real time. For example, when one user updates a spreadsheet with new data, other users cannot easily see the update unless the user resends the spreadsheet to all users. When several documents are created and edi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When several documents are created and edited by multiple users, the back and forth nature of e-mail can create confusion as users cannot determine which version of the document is the most recent update or which users performed which assignments

Additionally, the back and forth nature of emails can create confusion as to whether and when assignments are completed, and does not provide sufficient assurance that task assignments are completed according to the desired timeline
