Abstract: Access to a computing resource or service, to gain access to the computing resource or service is defined by access parameters contained in a certificate accessible by an access controller (which can also be referred to as a Unit-of-Use Controller). Identification data associated with a user is provided by a computer-controlled device to the access controller, which retrieves the certificate related to the identification data. The access controller then obtains the access parameters from the certificate and grants access to the computing resource for the user associated with the certificate as a function of the access parameters.

Abstract: A system and method for unit-of-use utilization of a computing resource is described. A user obtains utilization permissions for a computing resource which are recorded in a Unit-of Use (UoU) certificate. These permissions include temporal and/or functional use constraints that are static and/or dynamic. A UoU controller employs these permissions to control access by the user to the computing resource. The unit-of-use controller receives feedback from the computing resource in the form of utilization information regarding actual usage by the user which is recorded in the UoU certificate. The computing resource may include a cloud based service, operable on one or more cloud servers. The computing resource utilization permissions are preferably part of an electronic UoU certificate. This certificate is incorporated into an email, IM or a similar message medium and electronically delivered via communications network, typically from a first, user's device to a second, user's device.

Abstract: A method and system for communicating data inspecting, monitoring and analysis information by signaling between digital devices is described. A process analyzes the data, which is then subjected to a variety of inspection and validation methods and systems. The results created by the process are then used to signal a grade and rating of the data to specified recipients. Additionally, selected reporting and notification are also sent to specified recipients. Dynamic control of the process is provided if specific information is also received for the information to be processed.
