Patent attributes
Systems and methods to manage a tokenization manifest that can be used for managing a redaction through tokenization of a set of field level tokenization values applied to an arbitrary information object of an arbitrary file (e.g., database cells, XML and other document elements, areas of graphics images, etc.). The methods and system extend the use of tokenization to the protection of arbitrary fields or information objects of any type or format. This allows the tokenized components of the information object to be located and provided to a Tokenization Service Provider that can recover, for an authorized requestor, the original content protected by the token. The tokenization schema processes the unrestricted content into a corresponding restricted token. The token can include an embedded URL, where the URL is a link to submit a request to the Tokenization Service Provider to view the token as the unrestricted content.
