Abstract
In an example embodiment, a submission of confidential data is received from a user. Then, the confidential data is encrypted using a first public key generated as part of a first public key-first private key pair. The encrypted confidential data is stored in a first column of a first submission table in a confidential information database. An identification of the user is encrypted using a second public key different than the first public key, the second public key generated as part of a first public key-first private key pair. Then, the encrypted identification of the user is stored in a second submission table in the confidential information database. The first private key is provided to a first component to decrypt the confidential information, without providing the second private key to the first component.
