Abstract
A system for secure access to information, e.g., images, data, etc., is utilized to provide additional security to users of a management portal.. The management portal may be configured to embed a common gateway interface (“CGI”) link in a web page, e.g., HTML, extensible mark-up language (“XML”), at the end the conclusion of the management transaction. Subsequently, the web page with the embedded CGI link may be transmitted to the user. To access the stored information, the user may invoke the CGI link on the received web page. The CGI link may be configured to invoke an application, a security module, at a web server of the management portal e.g., CGI script, web application, etc., that may request a user name and/or authorization code from the user. The security module may be further configured to compare the requested information against a user configuration database of the management portal, where the user configuration may be constructed in XML code. The security module may be further configured to permit access to the secure storage area, and subsequently to the information stored therein, in response to a match of the requested information with the user configuration database. Otherwise, the security module may be further configured to inform the user of denied access to the secure storage area.
