Abstract: As the amount of knowledge availability to a user grows, user become overwhelmed with information from sources, such as Web pages, electronic documents, media files, or links to online syndication services. The present invention solves this problem by creating an information collection with efficient knowledge access. In particular, a process selects a collection template and allows a user to determine at least one attribute for the collection template. Next, using a user's intended activity (e.g., a construction project) the process obtains data from all available knowledge sources to include in a collection and creates the collection using the collection template, at least one attribute, and the data. Thus, the process creates a collection with information directed to an intended activity from a vast amount of resources.

Abstract: An electronic transaction system includes an authority issuing electronic signals representing subscriber assurance of an attribute of a subscriber to the system; and a reliance server obtaining electronic signals representing information regarding the subscriber assurance issued by the issuing authority, the reliance server issuing electronic signals representing a signed warranty offer to a relying party, the signed warranty offer being based at least on the subscriber attribute assurance, wherein the reliance server only provides the signed warranty offer if the relying party is authorized to make a request for said warranty.

Abstract: A digital signature system is provided on a server for use by remote clients, such as by using a browser. The server generates and maintains all of the users' keys used for producing a digital signature. A user sends a data object to the server, and the server generates a digital signature for the data object using the private key stored at the server. The server then sends the digital signature to the client. A client can, at a later time, send the signature back to the server for verification.
