Abstract:
Methods and systems describe linking mobile applications to website providers using an intermediary database that is populated based on mobile application metadata in order to provide secure communication of user data encrypted specifically for given website providers. The methods and systems accomplish this by receiving, at an intermediary database, a first communication from a background application implemented on a mobile device, wherein the first communication comprises a first access point address and is generated based on a request, by a first access point, for first user information for use by a first provider, wherein the first provider provides the first access point. However, as opposed to simply generating a random alternative content for the first communication, the system performs an additional step to ensure that the alternative content is specific to the provider and may be used across all access points for the provider.
