Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computer processor of a computing apparatus from a first social network, a first user request for generating a profile associated with a user; retrieving, by said computer processor, first data associated with said user; retrieving, by said computer processor, an encrypted master security token comprising an identifier associated with said user; generating, by said computer processor, said profile, wherein said profile comprises said first data; associating, by said computer processor, said encrypted master security token with said profile; storing, by said computer processor, said encrypted master security token attached to said profile; receiving, by said computer processor from said first social network via said user, a request associated with a membership to said first social network; adding, by said computer processor to said encrypted master security token, first communication data identifying a pathway between said computer processor and said first social network; enabling, by said computer processor, access to said profile based on said encrypted master security token; transmitting, by said computer processor to said first social network in response to said enabling, a copy of said profile; and generating, by said computer processor, a plurality of encrypted follower security tokens associated with said encrypted master security token, wherein each encrypted follower security token of said plurality of encrypted follower security tokens comprises said identifier associated with said user; associating, by said computer processor, each said encrypted follower security token with said profile; generating, by said computer processor from a first encrypted follower security token of said plurality of encrypted follower security tokens, a first updated encrypted follower security token, wherein said generating said first updated encrypted follower security token comprises adding said first communication data and said first copy of said profile to said encrypted follower security token; generating, by said computer processor from a second encrypted follower security token of said plurality of encrypted follower security tokens, a second updated encrypted follower security token, wherein said generating said second updated encrypted follower security token comprises adding a second copy of said profile, application and services data, and second communication data to said second encrypted follower security token, wherein said application and services data identifies financial services associated with said user and said first social network, and wherein said second communication data identifies a pathway between said computer processor and a financial services computing system associated with said financial services; transmitting, by said computer processor to said first social network in response to said enabling, said first updated encrypted follower security token, transmitting, by said computer processor to said financial services computing system in response to said enabling, said second updated encrypted follower security token.
