Patent attributes
Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to providing an electronic document storage (EDS) system enabling companies or customers to upload electronic documents to be distributed online. These electronic documents may be made available to one or more specified customers, recipients of the documents, by authenticating login credentials provided by the customers. Metadata used to identify the recipients may be extracted from the electronic files or comprise separate electronic files. The EDS system may ensure that companies cannot access documents uploaded by other companies or customers for other companies, and that customers access only documents that the customers are authorized to access. To provide additional security, the EDS system may accept encrypted electronic documents and decrypt the electronic documents to allow customer access.
