One embodiment is directed to apparatus. In the apparatus, a trusted
intermediary computer screen user interface is provided. An
identification information input receives, via the computer screen user
interface, information identifying an authorized information seeker. The
information seeker seeks access to a remote database via an internet
protocol connection. An authorization confirmation display displays, via
the computer screen user interface, that the authorized information
seeker is confirmed as authorized to access the remote database. An
access code request input requests, via the computer screen user
interface, an access code for use by the authorized information seeker to
access the remote database via the internet protocol connection. An
access code output outputs the access code for use by the authorized
information seeker.
