Abstract
This invention relates to a system and method for converting encryption data into at least one preselected image in a manner such that, for example, the entity converting the encryption data into the at least one preselected image is not privy to the meaning or value of the sensitive information. The system and method comprises a display system having an encryption record for enabling a user to separate title and label information from data information and to encrypt the data information into a predetermined encrypted data set or format. The display system also includes an image area portion having a plurality of predetermined images for selecting at least one visual image to represent the predetermined encrypted data set. A converter may also be provided for converting the predetermined encrypted data set into the at least one visual image. The encryption record has a plurality of record areas for formatting and recording the encrypted data, a media area for identifying a medium for the at least one visual image and an encryption area for indicating whether the predetermined encrypted data set is confidential. The system also comprises a de-encrypter for de-encrypting the at least one visual image so that the visual image and the predetermined encrypted data set is de-encrypted for the entity providing the sensitive information. In one embodiment, the de-encrypter may include a plurality of labels for the entity to use in association with the at least one visual image.
