Abstract:
1. A method of securely directing private information to a recipient, the method comprising: responsive to a sender's web server mediated request to deliver a first document to the recipient, determining that the recipient is not currently enrolled for authenticated access to the private information and prompting the sender in a web server mediated dialog to provide both a secret and a prompt to elicit the secret from the recipient; transmitting a first message to the recipient via a messaging system, the first message including a recipient-specific resource locator; responsive to a retrieval using the recipient-specific resource locator, authenticating identity of the recipient in a webserver mediated dialog that includes the sender provided prompt and that compares a response thereto to the secret previously provided by the sender; and after determining that the response accurately supplies the secret, enrolling the recipient for authenticated access to the private information and thereafter providing the authenticated recipient with access to the first document.
