  • Publication number: 20250021696
    Abstract: Method, system, and programs provide automatic anonymization of protected data items when a request is associated with authentication via a ticket. Ticket authentication includes sending a ticket to a recipient address. The ticket is included in a request for information. Responsive to receiving a request with a ticket, an example system may determine if the ticket is still valid and, if so, generate mock identifiers for any identifiers in information provided back to the requestor, replace the identifiers with their corresponding mock identifiers, as well as delete any protected information from the information provided back to the requestor. The system may store a mapping of the identifiers with their mock identifiers by session id. These mappings may be deleted after a predetermined time, so that the mapping is valid only for a particular session for a limited time.
