Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for controlling information gathered by data collection agencies in an electronic transaction. A persona facet may be selected by a user of a client in a network system where the selected persona facet comprises user selectable information, e.g., name, e-mail address, unique key, public key, private key, payment method, consumer resource data, that may be exposed in the electronic transaction. The user may then connect to a web site via a web browser. Upon initiating an electronic transaction, the user may send the selected persona facet to the web site. If the web site recognizes the persona facet, then the user may request the web site to send the information about the user stored in a database, e.g., consumer resource management database. If the web site sends the information, then the user may compare the received information with the user selectable information in the selected persona facet.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing resource collisions associated with memory units. Resource collisions may be reduced in part by a hash that combines the number N bits in the bank selector field with the number M bits adjacent to a region of correlation, e.g., row selector field, in an address to determine which bank in a memory unit, e.g., cache, may store the information associated with the address.
