Distributed authentication/authorization tool

Abstract:

An authentication/authorization tool authenticates entity data received from an official third party and authorizes the distribution of the authenticated data based on an authorization token provided by a mobile device of the entity. The tool determines, based on the entity data and an entity preferences database, different portions of the entity data that are of different data types and data repositories that are authorized to receive each data type. The tool receives an authorization token from a mobile device of the entity and uses the authorization token to determine whether data distribution is authorized. Responsive to determining, based on the data authorization token, that distribution of the data is authorized, the tool automatically transmits the data portions to the entity's data repositories to update information stored therein, according to preferences of the entity.
