Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, related to relationship-based authorization. In general, data characterizing a request for authorization to a computer-based resource is received, and the authorization may be provided based on one or more relationships of a requesting principal. A determination may be made as to whether a requesting principal is authorized, which may include determining whether the requesting user has a relationship with a principal that has management rights of the computer-based resource and determining whether the relationship allows for an access, such as a use of the computer-based resource, if the requesting principal has a relationship with the other principal. If there is no such relationship, a determination may be made as to whether an organization of the requesting principal has a relationship with the other principal that allows for the access.

Abstract: An expert interface component can automatically connect a system user with a system support expert. A user interface module can present a threat-tracking graphical user interface and a query interface component integrated into the threat-tracking graphical user interface to a system user belonging to a client team to review a potential cyber threat and receive a query for assistance. The query interface component can allow the system user to digitally grab a visual data container displaying information and containing a data object. The query interface component can collect the visual data container from the threat-tracking graphical user interface into a collection window of the query interface component. A communication module provides an incident ticket containing the query and the visual data container to a system support expert at a remote platform.

Abstract: Data characterizing a secure rights managed container can be received. The secure rights managed container can include a first content holder. The first content holder can include a first content, first terms and conditions, and a symmetric key. The first content can be encrypted by the symmetric key and configured to enable a modification of a blockchain. The first terms and conditions can specify access to the first content, and the symmetric key can be encrypted by a public key of a clearing server. A first context of a recipient and a first credential of the recipient can be received. The clearing server can determine access to the first content by the recipient at least by comparing the first terms and conditions to the first context and the first credential. The first content can be provided to the recipient for executing the modification of the blockchain.

Abstract: A payload data can be received. The payload data can be packaged into a first immutable secure container at a first secure system. A new block of a blockchain can be created. The new block of the block chain can be separate from the first secure system. The new block can include a proof of existence of the payload data.

Abstract: Data characterizing a first access policy for a first digital attestation including data characterizing an attestation affecting an execution of a smart contract can be received.
