Abstract: Methods and system for managing partial private keys for cryptography-based, storage applications used in blockchain operations and/or facilitating secure authentication when conducting blockchain operations using cryptography-based, storage applications. For example, the methods and system may perform a plurality of blockchain operations for digital assets stored in a first cryptography-based, storage application, wherein the first cryptography-based, storage application corresponds to a first partial private key, and wherein the first partial private key is stored on a first user device, and wherein the second partial private key is not accessible to platform service facilitating the first cryptography-based, storage application.

Abstract: A method of displaying, editing, and enforcing privacy settings for individual pieces of information published on a website. Privacy selections are displayed next to the information they protect. A user interface is presented in response to user-interaction with the displayed privacy selections that allows further privacy selections. The privacy selections indicate which other users may view the associated information. These options may be in the form of tiers of users with granted access or privacy groups. The publishing user may customize the privacy options by creating new tiers or groups for inclusion in the selection interface. Privacy icons may be associated with the privacy options, and may be displayed to the publishing user next to protected information, allowing easy identification of currently selected privacy settings. The publishing user may also upload additional privacy icons.

Abstract: The invention provides a formulation for the protection of a bioactive agent, a method of producing the formulation, and methods for using the formulation. In the formulation, the bioactive agent is coated with a water-soluble protective material, dried, and suspended in a hydrophobic carrier such as an oil. The formulation is used to deliver the bioactive to a target substrate. The bioactive agent may be a biopesticidal microbe, the protective material may be a lignin, and the target substrate may be an insect pest or plant.
