Patent attributes
Technologies are provided in embodiments to protect private data. Embodiments are configured to intercept a network flow en route from a server to a client device, identify a request for a private data item in an object of the network flow, identify the private data item in a data store, provide, to the client device, a modified object including an authorization request, and send the private data item to the server when valid authorization information is received. Embodiments are also configured to receive authorization information from the client device, determine whether the authorization information is valid, and obtain the private data item if the authorization information is determined to be valid. Embodiments may also be configured to determine an unlocking mechanism for the private data item, and create a modified object including the authorization request based, at least in part, on the unlocking mechanism.
