The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, a method, and a program that can improve anonymity. An acquisition unit acquires a user identification ID that identifies a user and user data regarding the user. A derived ID generation unit carries out an operation using a one-way function, for data obtained from the user identification ID according to an increase in the number of the user data recorded in a recording unit, to generate a derived ID. A recording control unit causes the recording unit to record the generated derived ID and the acquired user data in association with each other to. In this way, the derived ID is generated according to the increase in the number of recorded user data, and the user data is recorded in association with the derived ID. Therefore, K-anonymity of the user data can be improved. The present technology can be applied to a server.

Methods and systems for identifying content of interest. Accessed textual information is processed by at least one of character unification, phrase unification, and concept unification. A configured processor executes at least one predefined rule to determine whether the unified content includes certain types of information. Unified content that matches may be subject to further action such as alerts, encryption, logging, etc.

A system for creating a combined electronic identification that obtains user information (202) about a user of a hardware device (100), authenticates the user from the user information (202), obtains a hardware profile (208) of the device (100), the hardware profile 208 comprising user generated data stored on the device (100) and links the user information (202) and the hardware profile (208) as a combined electronic identification. The hardware device (100) can be comprised of a main processor, memory, a touchscreen interface, and a wireless communication module, such as a mobile phone, computer, or tablet computer.

New tokenization tables are derived at intervals in order to increase the security of tokenized data that is transferred between two endpoints. Generation of the new tokenization tables is based on previous tokenization tables, which advantageously allows the generation process to be performed locally at the two endpoints independently of an external tokenization table provider. New tokenization tables can periodically be distributed to the endpoints as a new starting point for derivation.

A method and apparatus for a commerce platform coordinating a purchase of a product sold by a merchant system through a third party application are described. The method may include receiving a notification from the third party application requesting to purchase a product from within the third party application, wherein the notification comprises an identifier for the product and an identifier for the merchant system that sells the product. The method may also include a product checkout interface having an appearance consistent with an appearance of a user interface of the third party application, and transmitting the product checkout interface generated by the commerce platform to a user device executing the third party application causing the third party application to render the product checkout interface within at least a portion of the user interface of the third party application.

A method for recording input text that is input in an input field of a webpage, the method comprising: providing the webpage to a client device, by processing circuitry, the webpage comprising: (a) the input field, and (b) instructions executable by web-accessing software for recording the input text; and wherein execution of the instructions results in: identification of masking information in the input text, if any, the masking information being information in the input text to be masked; and if the masking information is identified, masking of the masking information prior to the recording of the input text, so that the masking information is masked when recorded.

An anonymization processing device that anonymizes input data and outputs anonymized output data, includes an input unit configured to receive the input data; a processing unit configured to anonymize the input data, to generate anonymized data corresponding to the input data that has been anonymized; a first storage unit configured to store the anonymized data; and an output unit configured, in a case where a plurality of anonymized data items stored in the first storage unit satisfy an anonymity index, to generate and output a plurality of output data items corresponding to the anonymized data items, respectively, and to delete the anonymized data items from the first storage unit.

The technology described herein obfuscates image content using a local neural network and a remote neural network. The local network runs on a local computer system and a remote classifier runs in a remote computing system. Together, the local network and the remote classifier are able to classify images, while the image never leaves the local computer system. In aspects of the technology, the local network receives a local image and creates a transformed object. The transformed object may be generated by processing the image with a local neural network to generate a multidimensional array and then randomly shuffling data locations within a multidimensional array. The transformed object is communicated to the remote classifier in the remote computing system for classification. The remote classifier may not have the seed used to deterministically scramble the spatial arrangement of data within the multidimensional array.

A system for vaultless tokenization and encryption includes an iframe service for collecting data and a tokenization service for (de)tokenizing and encrypting/decrypting data. The system is accessible to users and partners that submit requests causing various functions to be executed by the system. The functions include, but are not limited to, providing (de)tokenization and/or encryption services, and managing and creating templates for iframe collection, (de)tokenization, and encryption/decryption. A template service facilitates generation of templates that parametrize collection of original data via served iframe elements, tokenization and/or encryption of original data, and detokenizing and/or decrypting tokens to recover original data. An iframe service is configured for providing a virtual terminal, an iframe that provides users direct access to (de)tokenization and/or decryption/encryption services. Access to system services is managed via identifiers that include authentication credentials and parameters for performing (de)tokenization and/or encryption/decryption processes.

Systems and methods are disclosed for cross-platform token exchange. One method comprises receiving a primary token exchange request from an upstream entity, generating an ancillary detokenization request based on the primary token exchange request, and transmitting the ancillary detokenization request to an input token vault. An ancillary detokenization response comprising sensitive data may then be received from the input token vault, and one or more ancillary tokenization requests may be generated based on the ancillary detokenization response and the primary token exchange request. The one or more ancillary tokenization requests may be transmitted to one or more output token vaults. Subsequently, one or more ancillary tokenization responses may be received from the one or more output token vaults, each ancillary tokenization response comprising an output token. A primary token exchange response may be generated based on the one or more ancillary tokenization responses and transmitted to the upstream entity.
