Abstract

Mechanisms for generating documents with confidential information are provided, the mechanisms comprising: sending, from a user device, a request for a first document with confidential information to a first collection of at least one hardware processor in a low-trust network that is not entitled to access the confidential information; receive a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the first document from the first collection of at least one hardware processor at the user device; request, from the user device, the first document using the URL from a second collection of at least one hardware processor in a high-trust network that is entitled to access the confidential information; receive the first document at the user device; and cause the first document to be presented. In some of these mechanisms, the user device is in the high trust network.

Claims (64)

1. A system for generating documents with confidential information, comprising:

a user device configured to:

send a request for a first document with confidential information to a first collection of at least one hardware processor in a low-trust network that is not entitled to access the confidential information;

receive a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the first document from the first collection of at least one hardware processor;

request the first document using the URL from a second collection of at least one hardware processor in a high-trust network that is entitled to access the confidential information;

receive the first document; and

cause the first document to be presented.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user device is in the high trust network.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor in the high-trust network is in a server.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the first document is stored on the server.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first collection of at least of one hardware processor is configured to:

receive from the user device the request for the first document;

generate a second document, that corresponds to the first document, with at least one token corresponding to the confidential information;

transmit the second document to the second collection of at least one hardware processor;

receive from the second collection of at least one hardware processor a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the first document; and

transmit the URL to the user device.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor is configured to:

receive the second document from the first collection of at least one hardware processor;

replace the at least one token in the second document to produce the first document;

cause the first document to be stored; and

transmit the URL to the first collection of at least one hardware processor.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor is further configured to serve the first document to the user device.

8. A method for generating documents with confidential information, comprising:

sending, from a user device, a request for a first document with confidential information to a first collection of at least one hardware processor in a low-trust network that is not entitled to access the confidential information;

receive a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the first document from the first collection of at least one hardware processor at the user device;

request, from the user device, the first document using the URL from a second collection of at least one hardware processor in a high-trust network that is entitled to access the confidential information;

receive the first document at the user device; and

cause the first document to be presented.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user device is in the high trust network.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor in the high-trust network is in a server.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first document is stored on the server.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first collection of at least of one hardware processor is configured to:

receive from the user device the request for the first document;

generate a second document, that corresponds to the first document, with at least one token corresponding to the confidential information;

transmit the second document to the second collection of at least one hardware processor;

receive from the second collection of at least one hardware processor a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the first document; and

transmit the URL to the user device.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor is configured to:

receive the second document from the first collection of at least one hardware processor;

replace the at least one token in the second document to produce the first document;

cause the first document to be stored; and

transmit the URL to the first collection of at least one hardware processor.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor is further configured to serve the first document to the user device.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor is a user device, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for generating documents with confidential information, the method comprising:

sending a request for a first document with confidential information to a first collection of at least one hardware processor in a low-trust network that is not entitled to access the confidential information;

receive a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the first document from the first collection of at least one hardware processor;

request the first document using the URL from a second collection of at least one hardware processor in a high-trust network that is entitled to access the confidential information;

receive the first document; and

cause the first document to be presented.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the user device is in the high trust network.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor in the high-trust network is in a server.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the first document is stored on the server.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first collection of at least of one hardware processor is configured to:

receive from the user device the request for the first document;

generate a second document, that corresponds to the first document, with at least one token corresponding to the confidential information;

transmit the second document to the second collection of at least one hardware processor;

receive from the second collection of at least one hardware processor a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the first document; and

transmit the URL to the user device.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor is configured to:

receive the second document from the first collection of at least one hardware processor;

replace the at least one token in the second document to produce the first document;

cause the first document to be stored; and

transmit the URL to the first collection of at least one hardware processor.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 20 , wherein the second collection of at least one hardware processor is further configured to serve the first document to the user device.
