1. A distributed architecture-based system for digitally authorizing access to computerized records, the system comprising:
at least one server comprising at least one computerized records data-store storing multiple computer executable files associated with a subject and containing subject data in a digital format and associated with a subject identifier that identifies association of the subject with its respective computer executable file;
an external device communicatively linked to the at least one server;
a scanner operatively linked to the external device;
a communication network communicatively linking at least two of the subject, the server, the external device, and the scanner; and
a contextual authorization device communicatively coupled to the at least one server, wherein the contextual authorization device comprises electronic circuits and computer logic instructions, which when executed by the electronic circuits of the contextual authorization device, cause the contextual authorization device to perform the steps of:
tracking a geo-location of the external device using a Global Positioning System (GPS);
determining a crowdsourced credentialing score associated with an entity associated with the external device, wherein the crowdsourced credentialing score is determined based on credentialing of a digital profile of the entity by a plurality of respondents such that the crowdsourced credentialing score is indicative of a trust of the external device;
comparing dynamically changing contextual information associated with the entity with a set of past requests indicative of historical behavior and determine an index of normality;
creating a set of custom rules based on the geo-location of the external device and the dynamically changing contextual information associated with the entity, and wherein the set of custom rules defines different rights for different location types as identified from the geo-location of the external device, and wherein the different rights define either one of an outright denial or approval of the access or limiting the access to one or more types of computerized records based on the location types;
storing the set of custom rules in a database, wherein the set of custom rules digitally dictates access rights and levels for the external device;
processing authorization of the external device for access of the computerized records based on the geo-location of the external device, the dynamically changing contextual information associated with the entity, the crowdsourced credentialing score associated with the entity, the index of normality, and the set of custom rules, wherein the set of custom rules processes authorization of the external device only when at least one the entity associated with the external device possesses at least a minimum threshold score, and a minimum predefined threshold of normality is noted about the external device and the associated entity; and
creating the computerized records based on the authorization and transforms the authorized computerized records into a digital data structure readable by the scanner.
