A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11954227B2) discloses a system for generating documents with confidential information. The system includes a memory and a first collection of hardware processors in a computer network not authorized to access the confidential data. The processors receive a request for a document with confidential information, generate a second document with tokens representing the confidential data, transmit it to a second collection of processors in an authorized network, receive a URL corresponding to the document, and send it back to the user device. The user device can then request and receive the document using the URL, ensuring secure access to sensitive information.

Furthermore, the patent also covers a method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing executable instructions for generating documents with confidential information. The method involves receiving a request for a document, generating a second document with tokens, transmitting it to an authorized network, receiving a URL, and sending it back to the user device. The user device can then access and present the document securely. This innovative system ensures that confidential information is protected and accessed only by authorized parties, enhancing data security and privacy measures in document generation processes.
