Patent number: 11477178Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Anonyome Labs, Inc.Inventors: Steven Harvey McCown, Paul Ashley, Matthew Poulton, Steve Shillingford, Greg Clark

Patent number: 10382211Abstract: 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.
