  • Patent number: 11431729
    Abstract: In some aspects, a verification exchange system transforms consumer data (e.g., employment or income data) from different contributor computing systems to a standardized format and stores this standardized data in a consumer-status verification repository. The verification exchange system can selectively provide portions of the consumer data to authorized client system via a security portal to a public network. For example, the verification exchange system can use standardized consumer data to service verification queries requesting confirmation of employment or income level for consumers. The verification exchange system can do so by ensuring that a verifier system from which the query is received has provided a valid credential.

  • Patent number: 11200339
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and apparatus for securing electronic personal identifying information. The system enhances data privacy, by minimizing the amount of authentic personal identifying information that is shared with a third party. Namely, the system includes a database of known websites, apps, etc. that require personal identifying information to sign up—and then classifies whether any given type of information is strictly necessary to the functioning of the website. The system then generates placeholder “dummy” data for any fields that are required for signup, but are not strictly necessary for the website to function. The system allows for creation of several user profiles that vary the amount of authentic personal identifying information to be shared, based on the user's preferences. The system therefore helps to secure personal information in the event that, for example, the website later has a data breach.
