Abstract

A system and method for secure transmission of sensitive end user information from an Internet portal operated by a publisher to a third party data processor. The publisher provides a content portal such as an e-commerce or healthcare information site. A third party data processor such as a bank or healthcare organization requires the sensitive information for a data processing function. In response to the requirement for sensitive information, a trusted proxy frame is invoked from a secure server operative to securely communicate the sensitive information. The trusted proxy frame is displayed in a secure context in the end user's browser and receives input of the sensitive information. The sensitive information is encrypted and communicated through the secure server to the third party data processor. Results of this processing are transmitted to the publisher through a novel callback process that enables the publisher to execute its data processing functions, as if it was in possession of the sensitive information, but without actual access to the sensitive information. The third party data processor returns an acknowledgement of processing of the sensitive information.
