  • Publication number: 20220224796
    Abstract: Techniques for managing electronic user profiles are presented herein. An example method includes accessing, from a data structure, a user profile. The user profile can include a profile identifier and a plurality of data fields. The method also includes displaying, on a display device, an interactive user interface. The user interface can include a plurality of user interface action elements. Each of the user interface action elements can be associated with a data field in the data structure. Each of the user interface action elements can also be individually selectable by a respective user action to transmit the associated data field to a remote device. In response to receiving a selection of a user interface action element, the method can further include transmitting the associated data field and the profile identifier to a router configured to send, based on the profile identifier, the associated data field to the remote device.

  • Patent number: 10642987
    Abstract: A cryptographic tracking engine is disclosed that can track a user's data over the Internet in a way that allows the user to maintain control over the data downstream while maintaining the security of the stored data. An online entity provides an identifier that is encrypted using a first mechanism. Further, the user provides a data item for an electronic communication between two users. The data item is encrypted using the first mechanism. The data encrypted using the first mechanism is stored in a cryptographic entry. Other data for the electronic communication between the a first and second user is encrypted using a second encryption mechanism, such as a block cipher. The user can then selectively expose data stored in the cryptographic entry on a block-by-block basis to track exchanges of data over the Internet.
