What is the SIRB?
The SIRB (Secure Information Request Broker) is an application
that combines digital signature, public key encryption and data
routing technologies to facilitate secure, reliable, authenticated,
approved, authorized and anonymous data exchange over unsecured
and unreliable data channels.
The fundamental goals of the SIRB architecture are
- To control access to potentially classified and/or personal
information based on the needs of the information requestor, the
data owner and the entity the information is about, according
to legal and security considerations.
- To allow the authentication of a person
- To protect the privacy of persons involved
- To manage third party data access to personal information
- To authorize transactions
It is the combining of the previously mentioned technologies that
is new. The SIRB as such is an invention, for which patents have
been requested.
