METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURE DATA COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION

摘要

A data provider generates a data encryption key and an identifier, uses the data encryption key to encrypt data, sends the encrypted data and the identifier to a data requestor, and sends the data encryption key and the identifier to a crypto information server. The data requestor sends the identifier to the crypto information server to request the encryption key. The crypto information server authenticates the data requestor and, contingent on that authentication, sends the data encryption key to the data requestor. If a plurality of data instances are captured, then for each instance, a respective data encryption key and identifier are generated.
