Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provides a secure key management and data transmission system that includes a transmission system, a data consumer network device, a user network device, and a data transmission network. The transmission management system is configured to receive user-specific data from the user network device via the data transmission network and receive a request for a service corresponding to processing the user-specific data according to a proprietary process provided by the data consumer network device. The transmission management system is also configured to generate service response data based on processing the user-specific data according to the proprietary process in response to the received request, encrypt the service response data to become single-encrypted service response data, transmit the single-encrypted service response data to the data consumer network device, and receive and store double-encrypted service response data from the user network device.

Claims (30)

1. An electronic secure peer-to-peer transmission system based upon a controlled, double-tier encrypting cryptographic key structure providing a closed cryptosystem for secure digital data sharing and processing within a provided, secured digital network environment, comprising:

a transmission management system;

a data consumer network device;

a user network device; and

a data transmission network communicatively connecting the transmission management system, the data consumer network device, and the user network device, wherein

the transmission management system comprises electronic circuits configured to:

receive user-specific data from the user network device via the data transmission network;

in response to a request for a service that is provided by the data consumer network device and requested by the user network device, process the user-specific data by a processing module that is provided by the data consumer network device to generate service respond data;

generate single-encrypted service response data by encrypting, using a first cryptographic key associated with the data consumer network device, the service response data;

transmit the single-encrypted service response data to the user network device; and

receive double-encrypted service response data from the user network device and store the received double-encrypted service response data,

the user network device comprises a processor that is configured to execute computer program codes to:

obtain the user-specific data that is measured or captured by a capturing device associated with the user network device;

transmit the user-specific data to the transmission management system;

receive the single-encrypted service response data from the transmission management system in response to the request for the service that is provided by the data consumer network device and requested by the user network device;

generate the double-encrypted service response data by encrypting, using a second cryptographic key associated with the user network device, the single-encrypted service response data; and

transmit the double-encrypted service response data to the transmission management system,

wherein the data consumer network device is configured to store each double-encrypted service response data in a processing chain as an immutable transaction of a blockchain assigned to a user of the user network device,

the double-encrypted service response data is decryptable using private keys corresponding to both the second cryptographic key as a user key and the first cryptographic key as a public key of the data consumer network device, all the data in the chain being controlled by the user network device, and

wherein the user network device or the transmission management system is configured to provide the first cryptographic key after the transmission management system receives predetermined authorization parameters associated with the user network device,

wherein the first cryptographic key is made to be accessible to the user network device by the transmission management system in response to allowance parameters triggered by the data consumer network device, and

wherein the processing module is accessible to the user network device, the user network device being configured to control non-storage of the user-specific data using the processing module.

2. The electronic secure peer-to-peer transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the user network device comprises a mobile phone, a web browser, one or more telematics devices, or an apparatus that is configured to generate the user-specific data by capturing health, wellness, or home-related measuring parameters.

3. The electronic secure peer-to-peer transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor of the user network device is configured to receive and store payment transfer parameters associated with accessibility of the first cryptographic key to the user network device, and

the transmission management system is configured to control transmission of the first cryptographic key to the user network device based on the payment transfer parameters stored in the user network device.

4. The electronic secure peer-to-peer transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein

transmission of the single-encrypted service response data and the double-encrypted service response data is performed according to a public key cryptography.

5. The electronic secure peer-to-peer transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission management system comprises the electronic circuits further configured to:

encrypt the first cryptographic key according to a public key cryptography to obtained an encrypted first cryptographic key and provide the encrypted first cryptographic key to the user network device.
