Abstract: In one aspect, a computerized method for implementing entity interaction history signatures includes the step of providing a set of entities in an online network. The method includes the step of comparing a first entity of the set of entities with a second entity of the set of entities using a first entity interaction history signature of the first entity and second entity interaction history signature of the second entity. The method includes the step of based on the comparison of the first entity with the second entity computing a similarity measure. The method includes the step of aggregating a set of entity interaction history signatures for the set of entities to create a group signature.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing computer-assisted communications channels based on relationships between users who wish to communicate with one another are described. The relationship-managed communications system allows users to retain control over whom they permit to communicate with them and under what conditions such communications may take place, for example when they take place and/or using which communications channels, by allowing pairs of users to establish relationships which specify communications permissions. Users of the system provide their contact information to the relationship-managed communications system, and the system uses the securely stored information to mediate the establishment of communications channels between users. Embodiments of the system may intelligently route communications to substitute channels based on relationship-related and other information.

Abstract: System and method provides a mechanism to control access to a data object and to the data within the object. A policy managed object comprised policy objects, a payload container object for securely storing a payload with data, and a number of interfaces that provide access to the policy managed object and the payload. When a user invokes an interface in order to request the performance of an operation on the policy managed object or the payload, policies associated with the requested operation and the policy manage object are invoked. The policies determine, based on executable instructions, whether the requested operation can be allowed under the circumstances. If the policies determine that the operation can be allowed, the operation is performed. Otherwise, the operation is not performed and access to the policy managed object and payload is denied.

Abstract: A distributed secure repository and related methods allow users of a communications management system to securely store and share communications with other users. A user shares a communication by securely storing the communication, identifying the recipient, and specifying permissions that limit actions that the recipient is permitted to take with respect to the communication. Mechanisms are provided for limiting a recipient's ability to view, copy, store, forward, print, and modify the communication. Metadata associated with the communication is transmitted to the recipient, notifying the recipient of the securely stored communication. The recipient uses the metadata to request an encrypted copy of the communication, to view the communication, or to otherwise interact with the communication in accordance with the sender's permissions. The sender retains control of the communication and can modify the communication and associated permissions.
