Method for transforming message containing sensitive information
First Claim
1. A method for transforming an original message into a final message by including an untrusted service, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying a plurality of classes of sensitive terms from the original message;
replacing each of the plurality of classes of sensitive terms with a unique token to create a sanitized message;
storing the plurality of classes of sensitive terms;
transmitting the sanitized message to a provider of the untrusted service;
performing the untrusted service on the sanitized message to create a serviced message; and
merging the serviced message with the plurality of classes of sensitive terms stored in the storing step to create the final message.
