Abstract:
Sensitive information is identified. For example, the sensitive information may be a set of medical records. A request is received to send the sensitive information from a first domain to a second domain. For example, the request may be to send the sensitive information from a first corporation to a second corporation. The sensitive information is encrypted. The encrypted sensitive information comprises an authentication field. The authentication field identifies one or more authentication factors that are required to unencrypt the sensitive information. For example, the authentication field may indicate that a user is required to provide a username/password and a fingerprint scan to access the sensitive information. The encrypted sensitive information is sent to the second domain. The user in the second domain is required to authenticate using the one or more authentication factors to access the sensitive information.
