Abstract: Systems and methods for protecting data being sent between a client and a server include the capability of defining programmable processing steps that are applied by the server when protecting the data and the same steps are applied by the client when unprotecting the data. The programmable processing steps can be defined uniquely for each client, and the programmable processing steps are selected from a number of functions using sequencing data that defines the processing steps. The programmable processing steps allow for each client to process encrypted data in a different manner and the programmable processing steps are defined by what is called a digital rights management (DRM) Sequencing Key, and as such the system and method introduces a key-able DRM whereby each DRM message can be processed in a unique (or pseudo unique) manner.

Abstract: Techniques for managing the exchange of contact information are provided. Requests to establish connections on social networks and/or exchange contact information between users are held in escrow. The level of contact information and/or social network information shared between the users is configurable on a per user basis. Users may define levels of contact information and social network information to be shared with others based on the type of contact. Spam protection may be provided by requiring that both parties consent to a connection request before connections between the users are established.
