  • Publication number: 20240146523
    Abstract: According to a present invention embodiment, a system for controlling access to digital content comprises one or more memories and at least one processor coupled to the one or more memories. The system verifies a blockchain identity associated with a user. An access control policy indicates blockchain identities of one or more users for controlling access to the digital content of a different user. The user is verified against the access control policy, and the user is granted a variable level of access to the digital content of the different user in accordance with the access control policy. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for controlling access to digital content in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 11516298
    Abstract: Integrating a plurality of third party service interactions into a portal including a Web content management system includes receiving a data structure, associating the data structure with a selected profile out of a plurality of profiles based on the origin of the data structure, and transforming content of the received data structure, using a declarative mapping associated with the selected profile, into an intermediate data structure. The intermediate data structure may be provided to a presentation layer of the portal. A signal causing a rendering of the intermediate data structure may be triggered via a portlet of the portal to a display. Captured input from the portlet from the intermediate data structure may be transformed to the data structure using the declarative mapping associated with the selected profile. The data structure may be sent.
