Abstract: A method for facilitating the broadcast of encrypted data includes: storing a content encryption key and a server private key of a first cryptographic key pair; storing a recipient profile, the profile being related to a recipient computing device including a recipient public key of a second cryptographic key pair; receiving a broadcast request from a broadcast computing device including an broadcast message encrypted using the content encryption key; identifying a unique identifier; transmitting a data message including the encrypted broadcast message and the unique identifier; receiving a key request from the recipient computing device including the unique identifier; verifying that the unique identifier included in the key request is equivalent to the identified unique identifier; encrypting the content encryption key using the recipient public key; and transmitting the encrypted content encryption key to the recipient computing device.

Abstract: A computer system for authenticating user access to at least one computer application of a plurality of computer applications is provided. The computer system includes a memory device and a processor. The computer system is programmed to identify a security level from a plurality of security levels for each computer application within the plurality of computer applications. The plurality of security levels include at least a first-tier security level and a second-tier security level. The second-tier security level requires additional authentication information as compared to the first-tier security level. The computer system is also programmed to create a user account for a user within the memory device with the first-tier security level, and to determine that the user account requires the second-tier security level, and prompt the user to enter the additional authentication information. The computer system is also programmed to promote the user account to the second-tier security level.
