  • Storage of captured sensitive data with bypass of local storage
    Patent number: 9736139
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter includes techniques for storing sensitive data. An example system includes a processor and a computer-readable memory storage device storing executable instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to send authentication credentials to a service to request authorization to store sensitive data with the service. The example system also includes instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to capture sensitive data from a sensor on a device. The example system also includes instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to bypass storing the captured sensitive data in any non-volatile memory in the device and stream the captured sensitive data to the service from the sensor.
