  • Patent number: 10263785
    Abstract: Securing information is increasingly difficult. With technological advances and tools/information sharing between hackers it is becoming even more difficult to ensure that sensitive data remains secure. Disclosed are systems and methods for uniquely securing data for each communication. The disclosed systems and methods allow for transmitting data across multiple boundaries (national, linguistic, operating system, platform, brand, etc.), while maintaining the desired security of the originator's data.
