Abstract: Systems and methods for privatized presentation of private data are provided. In certain embodiments, private data contained within received electronic data is identified. Based at least in part upon the identified private data, a determination is made as to whether privatized presentation of the private data should be performed. When the privatized presentation should be performed, a primary electronic device response including non-private data of the electronic data and an indication of a location of the private data in the electronic data is generated. The primary electronic device response is provided to a primary electronic device. The indication of the location of the private data is used to instruct the primary electronic device to refrain from presenting the private data. Instead, the private data is presented to a secondary electronic device tasked with presenting the private data in lieu of the primary electronic device.

Abstract: To protect corporate information technology (IT) networks, corporations or organizations can design their networks with secure technology. For example, before an employee can remotely access his or her company's network via a user device, a server associated with the company's network can setup an exemplary secure digital certificate for the user device. The secure digital certificate includes a public Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a router used by the user device to access the Internet. When employee attempts to remotely access his or her company's network, the user device or a router associated with the user device can send the secure digital certificate along with a current public IP address of the router used by the user device to access the Internet. In some embodiments, if the public IP address included in the digital certificate matches the current public IP address, the user device can access the company's network.
