  • Patent number: 11487897
    Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system can receive a request for a processing operation that involves a query. The computing system can extract a query parameter indicating an entity or information type. The computing system can parse, using the query parameter, an obfuscated dataset that is generated by electronically transforming (i) first sensitive information into first obfuscated data using an obfuscation key and (ii) second sensitive information into second obfuscated data using the obfuscation key. The sensitive information is unreadable in the obfuscated data. The computing system can match the query parameter to the first obfuscated data and the second obfuscated data based on a relationship between the first obfuscated data and the second obfuscated data. The relationship is independent of a meaning of the first and second sensitive information. The computing system can performing the processing operation using the first and second obfuscated data.

  • Patent number: 11263218
    Abstract: A global matching system can include a processing device and a memory device on which instructions can be stored. The processing device can execute the instructions to receive input data to be matched to target data stored in the memory device. The processing device can identify at least one context parameter for the input data. The context parameter indicate a location-specific characteristic or culturally specific characteristic of an entity associated with the input data. The processing device can access program code for matching tools and select a subset of the matching tools' program code based on the identified context parameter. The processing device can identify, based on the identified context parameter, an order of execution for the selected program code. The processing device can execute the selected program code in the identified order of execution and output a matching result for the input data and the target data.
