Abstract

A system and method for providing access to secure information. The method includes using a computing device to detect a connection between the computing device and an electronic key. The electronic key stores an encrypted unique electronic identifier (UEID). The method also includes using the computing device to authenticate a provider identifier (ID). If the provider ID is authentic and the electronic key is connected to the computing device the UEID is accessed. A request to access secure information is transmitted by the computing device to a secure storage device. Access to the secure information is granted based on the authenticated provider ID and a set of access preferences associated with the UEID. The computing device receives the requested secure information if the request is granted.
