Abstract

A data exchange is stored between two parties as one or more data exchange records. A data exchange record locator for locating the one or more data exchange records is generated. The data exchange record locator is sent to at least one of the two parties. A request is received for at least one of the one or more data exchange records from a non-party not participating in the data exchange. The at least one of the one or more data exchange records is sent to the non-party.

Claims (41)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

managing a data exchange, by a data exchange platform, between a first party and a second party;

storing, by the data exchange platform, one or more data exchange records generated from the data exchange;

generating, by the data exchange platform, an encrypted data exchange record locator for locating the one or more data exchange records, wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is encrypted using an encryption key;

sending, by the data exchange platform, the encrypted data exchange record locator and a decryption key to a third-party not participating in the data exchange, wherein the decryption key corresponds to the encryption key;

receiving, by the data exchange platform and from the third-party, a request for at least one of the one or more data exchange records, wherein the request is based on a decrypted data exchange record locator using the decryption key; and

sending, by the data exchange platform, the at least one of the one or more data exchange records to the third-party.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is a link directed to the one or more data exchange records or a quick response (QR) code associated with the link.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the received request includes at least one data exchange record identifier corresponding to the at least one of the one or more data exchange records.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is encrypted by applying a predetermined algorithm to a data exchange record locator for locating the one or more data exchange records, and the decrypted data exchange record locator is decrypted by applying an inverse operation of the predetermined algorithm to the encrypted data exchange record locator.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the key is sent in a second sending manner different from the first sending manner of sending the encrypted data exchange record locator.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein sending, by the data exchange platform, the encrypted data exchange record locator and a decryption key to a third-party not participating in the data exchange comprises:

acquiring contact information of the third-party; and

sending the encrypted data exchange record locator to the third-party based on the acquired contact information of the third-party.

7. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

managing a data exchange, by a data exchange platform, between a first party and a second party;

storing, by the data exchange platform, one or more data exchange records generated from the data exchange;

generating, by the data exchange platform, an encrypted data exchange record locator for locating the one or more data exchange records, wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is encrypted using an encryption key;

sending, by the data exchange platform, the encrypted data exchange record locator and a decryption key to a third-party not participating in the data exchange, wherein the decryption key corresponds to the encryption key;

receiving, by the data exchange platform and from the third-party, a request for at least one of the one or more data exchange records, wherein the request is based on a decrypted data exchange record locator using the decryption key; and

sending, by the data exchange platform, the at least one of the one or more data exchange records to the third-party.

8. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is a link directed to the one or more data exchange records or a quick response (QR) code associated with the link.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the received request includes at least one data exchange record identifier corresponding to the at least one of the one or more data exchange records.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is encrypted by applying a predetermined algorithm to a data exchange record locator for locating the one or more data exchange records, and the decrypted data exchange record locator is decrypted by applying an inverse operation of the predetermined algorithm to the encrypted data exchange record locator.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the key is sent in a second sending manner different from the first sending manner of sending the encrypted data exchange record locator.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein sending, by the data exchange platform, the encrypted data exchange record locator and a decryption key to a third-party not participating in the data exchange comprises:

acquiring contact information of the third-party; and

sending the encrypted data exchange record locator to the third-party based on the acquired contact information of the third-party.

13. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more computers; and

one or more computer memory devices interoperably coupled with the one or more computers and having tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, perform operations comprising:

managing a data exchange, by a data exchange platform, between a first party and a second party;

storing, by the data exchange platform, one or more data exchange records generated from the data exchange;

generating, by the data exchange platform, an encrypted data exchange record locator for locating the one or more data exchange records, wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is encrypted using an encryption key;

sending, by the data exchange platform, the encrypted data exchange record locator and a decryption key to a third-party not participating in the data exchange, wherein the decryption key corresponds to the encryption key;

receiving, by the data exchange platform and from the third-party, a request for at least one of the one or more data exchange records, wherein the request is based on a decrypted data exchange record locator using the decryption key; and

sending, by the data exchange platform, the at least one of the one or more data exchange records to the third-party.

14. The computer-implemented system of claim 13 , wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is a link directed to the one or more data exchange records or a quick response (QR) code associated with the link.

15. The computer-implemented system of claim 13 , wherein the received request includes at least one data exchange record identifier corresponding to the at least one of the one or more data exchange records and is generated based on the data exchange record locator sent by the at least one of the two parties.

16. The computer-implemented system of claim 13 , wherein the encrypted data exchange record locator is encrypted by applying a predetermined algorithm to a data exchange record locator for locating the one or more data exchange records, and the decrypted data exchange record locator is decrypted by applying an inverse operation of the predetermined algorithm to the encrypted data exchange record locator.

17. The computer-implemented system of claim 13 , wherein the key is sent in a second sending manner different from the first sending manner of sending the encrypted data exchange record locator.
