Zusammenfassung:	In some embodiments, a method includes receiving encrypted information associated with a user, and calculating a first portion of a shared secret based on the encrypted information associated with the user. The method also includes defining a completed portion of the shared secret based on the first portion of the shared secret and a second portion of the shared secret and storing the completed portion of the shared secret in a memory for a pre-defined period of time. The method includes defining a ticket based on the completed portion of the shared secret, and sending the ticket to a device associated with the user such that data associated with the ticket is accessible based on the ticket within the pre-defined period of time, and not accessible without the ticket or after the pre-defined period of time.
