DATA SECURITY TOOL

Abstract:

An apparatus includes a memory and a hardware processor. The memory stores identification information of a user. The processor receives from a device a request for the identification information of the user and in response to the request, appends a data element to the identification information to produce a protected message. The processor also encrypts the protected message to produce an encrypted message and communicates the encrypted message to the device. The data element executes in response to the encrypted message being decrypted, and the data element encrypts the identification information when the data element executes.
