Secure Processing of Secure Information in a Non-Secure Environment

摘要

A secured process sourcing and work management system for processing secure information in a non-secure environment is disclosed. The system permits a user, referred to herein as a customer or requestor, to submit a project, involving a human intelligence task (“HIT”), referred to as a task or task specification, to be performed with respect to secure, confidential or sensitive information, referred to herein as secure information, and have that project completed in a non-secure environment without compromising the security, confidentiality or sensitivity of the secure information. The system may be incorporated into the requestor's workflow, receiving projects therefrom and providing the results thereto. Further, a system is disclosed for implementing a processing workflow for such tasks, the system permitting, based on projects submitted by requestors, the “posting” or distribution of jobs, and subsequent management thereof, to be performed by a workforce operating in or via a non-secure-environment, while protecting the underlying security, confidentiality or sensitivity of the overall project.

1. A method of completing a task in a non-secure environment with respect to a secure object, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, in a secure environment, the secure object with respect to which the task is to be performed; dividing, by the processor, the secure object into at least two or more secure sub-objects each comprising data and one or more contexts associated therewith, the one or more contexts each characterizing the data as secure; further dividing, by the processor, the secure sub-objects such that each data of the two or more secure sub-objects is disassociated from each of the associated one or more contexts such that none of the secure characterization of the data is distributed with the disassociated data, the task comprising one or more sub-tasks to be performed with respect to the disassociated data of each of the two or more secure sub-objects; arranging, by the processor, for the performance of the one or more sub-tasks with a selected subset of a set of available participants of a workforce, each of the available participants being associated with one or more attributes which characterize the associated available participant, the selection of the subset being based thereon; and distributing, by the processor, to the subset at least one of the disassociated data such that the respective sub-task may be performed with respect thereto.
