Abstract

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system for converting data into a shortened Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address is described. The system includes a memory for storing instructions to convert data, and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to receive the data, convert the data into a first sequence of symbols, and divide the first sequence of symbols into second sequences of symbols. The processor is also configured to execute the instructions to include, in each of a plurality of first addresses, a respective one of the second sequences of symbols, and associate each of the first addresses with a corresponding shortened address. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions to combine a portion of each shortened address into an index address, and associate the index address with a shortened index address. Methods and machine-readable storage media are also described.
