Patent number: 11470074Abstract: A system for electronically sharing private documents using document pointers is disclosed. The system includes a processor and memory. A pointer database electronically coupled to the processor for storing a pointer to a document associated with a user and stored on a repository device of a plurality of repository devices remote from the server system, wherein the pointer comprises a unique identifier of the document and an associated location of that document on the repository device. A network communications interface electronically coupled to the processor is configured to electronically receive from a client device, an electronic authorization to share the document with a recipient third-party device of a plurality of recipient third-party devices, and, in response to the electronic request, transmit an encrypted information package including the pointer to the document to one of the client device, the repository, or the third-party device to facilitate the document sharing.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Trunomi Ltd.Inventors: Stuart H.

Patent number: 11176545Abstract: The systems described herein are configured to generate an auditable digital certificate upon receiving a request for user information associated with a user of the plurality of users and determining that authorization from the user is required The digital certificate comprises: a unique identifier associated with the requester, a context of the request, and a date and time associated with the request. The system then sends an authorization request that includes: a request for consent to grant the request from the requester, and a request for identity verification evidence. Upon receiving the consent and identity verification evidence, the system adds to the digital certificate: a unique identifier associated with the user, the consent, and a date and time associated with receipt of the consent. Finally, the system closes and tamperproofs the digital certificate before storing the digital certificate in a certificate database.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2017Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Trunomi Ltd.Inventors: Stuart H. Lacey, Naresh Singhal

Publication number: 20190220616Abstract: A method for sharing verification information is disclosed. The method is performed at one or more electronic devices. Verification information corroborating the identity information of a first user is obtained. A first device facilitates storing the verification information in one or more encrypted containers. A request for at least a part of the verification information corroborating the identity information of the first user is received from a second device that is distinct from the first device and a client device of the user. The request for authorization to release the requested part of the verification information is sent to the client device. In response to receiving authorization from the client device to release the requested part of the verification information, the requested part of the verification information is sent to the third party.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2019Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventor: Stuart H.

Patent number: 9785793Abstract: A method for sharing verified identity documents is disclosed. The method is performed at one or more electronic devices. The client device obtains identity information of a user and a document. The client device extracts identity information from the document. The client device determines that the identity information of the user and the extracted identity information substantially match, and generates at least one verification rating for the document. The client device sends the document, the data extracted from the document, and the at least one verification rating to a server system remote from the client device. This information is then provided by the server system to another party upon approval by the user to share the information with that party.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Trunomi LTD.Inventor: Stuart H.

Publication number: 20170140174Abstract: An exemplary method of obtaining authorization to release personal information associated with a user includes, at a server system, receiving a request for personal information associated with a user from a third party. The method further includes generating, in a system agnostic widget, a consent request for requesting authorization to release the personal information associated with the user to the third party and transmitting the consent request to a client device of the user via the widget. In response to receiving authorization to release the personal information from the client device via the widget: (1) facilitating provision of the personal information to the third party, and (2) storing the authorization in association with an account of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2017Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Stuart H.

Publication number: 20160232534Abstract: The methods described herein generating an auditable digital certificate. Initially, the server receives, from a requester at a remote server, a request for information associated with a user. The server provides a set of rules used to determine whether an authorization from a user is required. The server automatically applies the set of rules to the request to determine whether the authorization from the user is required. Upon determining that authorization is required, the server creates a digital certificate that includes a unique identifier of the requester, a context and date and time of the request. The server then sends to the user at a remote client device an authorization request for consent to the request. The server receives from the remote client device the consent. In response to receiving the consent, the server adds information to the digital certificate. The server then closes and tamperproofs the digital certificate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventors: Stuart H. LACEY, Naresh Singhal
