  • Patent number: 12210597
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to host a digital verified credential exchange in network communication with different verified credential operating environments. The digital verified credential exchange has a verified credential exchange engine in network communication with user and system interfaces for interacting with a verified credential holder machine, a credential database, a verified credential operating environment operating attributes database, an exchanged verified credential database, and an exchanged verified credential status monitor. The digital verified credential exchange automatically forms a reissued digital verified credential from a first verified credential operating environment for execution in a second verified credential operating environment.

  • Patent number: 12141247
    Abstract: A machine has a network interface circuit to provide connectivity to networked machines. A processor is connected to the network interface circuit. A memory is connected to the processor and the network interface circuit. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to record the purchase of a digital asset by a user at a client machine from a data source machine in network communication with the client machine. The location of the digital asset on one or more machines of the networked machines is archived. The location is separate from the data source machine. The digital asset is associated with a data access policy. A request for the digital asset is received. The data access policy is enforced through programmatic control utilized by one or more of the networked machines to form a consent state. Distribution of the digital asset to a networked machine is authorized in response to the consent state.

  • Patent number: 11568408
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to maintain digital identities. Each digital identity has identity attributes different than identity attributes associated with a real individual utilizing the digital identity. Each digital identity has an associated attribute for compartmentalized network activity. Interactions between the digital identities and a virtual card provider are supported to secure virtual cards for the digital identities. Interactions between the digital identities and a persona management application are brokered, including delivering the virtual cards for the digital identities to the persona management application.

  • Patent number: 11477178
    Abstract: An apparatus has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to store identity attributes including real identity attributes for a real individual and at least two sets of digital identity attributes each operative as a personal privacy proxy with compartmental identity attributes. The at least two sets of digital identity attributes each include a digital identity name, a digital identity mobile device number and a digital identity email address. The at least two sets of digital identity attributes are evaluated to produce a similarity measure. The real individual is provided with a recommendation based upon the similarity measure.

  • Patent number: 10382211
    Abstract: A machine has a processor and a network interface circuit connected to the processor to provide network connectivity to a client device. A memory is connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to implement a persona management service that operates to receive a request for a new email account from the client device. A new email account is created in response to the request. Cryptographic credentials for the new email account are received from the client device. The cryptographic credentials are sent to a certificate authority. A certificate authority validation is received from the certificate authority. The new email account with a cryptographic credential from the certificate authority is registered. The cryptographic credential is conveyed to the client device.
