Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for automatically maintaining privacy of a stream of data as it is transmitted over a network, the method comprising: receiving, by at least one of one or more computing devices, an original data stream in real-time from an original source, the original data stream including sensitive and non-sensitive data; identifying, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a data subset of interest within the original data stream; segregating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the data subset from the original data stream; processing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the data subset, by obfuscating at least a portion of the data subset in accordance with certain criteria including replacement of a personal name with a random string and randomizing a date; and reuniting, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the data subset with obfuscated elements with a remaining portion of the original data stream at a target source.
