Tiered Confidential Data Sharing for Secure Form Auto-Population
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The electronic sharing of confidential information is cumbersome and insecure due to inadequate security measures and the inability for recipients to interface with the information source in a secure manner, often requiring users to manually enter each item of information and lacking appropriate security requirements.
Innovation Solution
A computer-based system that automates tiered security and authentication by receiving an electronic information request, determining the security tier, generating authentication requests, and allowing access to user-related secure data after successful authentication, while auto-populating electronic forms with secure data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual entry of confidential information is required, then security control is simplified, but user convenience and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments confidential information into multiple security tiers (first tier, second tier, third tier) with different authentication requirements. This segmentation allows the system to apply appropriate security measures to each tier without requiring complex manual security controls for all information, thereby improving user convenience while maintaining security through automated tiered authentication.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication actions before granting access to confidential information. By requiring users to complete authentication steps in advance (such as biometric verification or multi-factor authentication) based on the security tier, the system automates security controls that would otherwise require complex manual verification, improving both convenience and security.
2Reliability
If inadequate security measures are used, then ease of sharing improves, but security and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic security measures that automatically adjust authentication requirements based on the security tier of the requested information. The system dynamically selects appropriate authentication methods (such as password, biometric, or multi-factor authentication) based on real-time risk assessment and data classification, providing strong security where needed while maintaining simplicity for less sensitive data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes security parameters automatically based on the tier classification of confidential information. By adjusting authentication strength, access control levels, and verification methods according to the security tier parameter, the system achieves reliable security protection without requiring uniformly complex security measures for all data types.
3Productivity
If automated form population with secure data is implemented, then productivity improves, but security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary automated form population system that acts as a secure bridge between confidential information storage and form filling. This intermediary system automatically retrieves and populates form fields with appropriate confidential data based on user authentication and authorization, eliminating the need for manual data entry while maintaining security through controlled access mechanisms and audit trails.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable automated sharing of confidential information according to tiers of security by receiving an electronic information request from an automated form production application of a computing device associated with a third-party entity. A request security tier associated with the electronic information request is determined according to a security tier of the user-related secure data. At least one authentication requirement associated with the request is determined according to authentication settings of the security tier. An authentication request is generated enabling the user to provide an authentication response to approve the computing device for access to the user-related secure data. The user authentication response is received, the user is authenticated based on the user authentication response and the computing device is allowed to access the user-related secure data to auto-populate each field of an electronic form with associated items of the user-related secure data.
