Abstract: A digital object may be routed via a network. Routing of a digital object may be based in part on a requested service, and/or on an ability of an intermediate node to provide the requested service, and/or on a willingness of the intermediate node to provide the requested service.

Abstract: Digital objects may be transmitted to a destination via data networks. In particular, a node may facilitate bidding for the business of forwarding digital objects in a data transmission network. The node may receive a first bid request and generate a second bid request based on the first bid request. The second bid request may be transmitted to one or more intermediary nodes, and the node may receive one or more bids responsive to the second bid request. The node may subsequently receive and forward a digital object specified by the first bid request.

Abstract: This invention creates a portable digital identity of the individual that includes personal information, and may also include data representing the person's handwritten signature and one or more passwords. The digital identity optionally includes data representing seals, fingerprints and biometric information. The digital identity can be used to bind a verifiable electronic impression with an electronic document using electronic watermarks so that any modification in the document or the electronic impression bound to the document can be detected. The personal information included in the digital identifiers can include, in addition to a password, answers to questions that are composed by the user. The digital identity of a user can be created once and stored after encryption for protection. This digital identity can then be used by the signer to bind a unique instance of an impression of the digital identity to any document.

Abstract: A system monitors a data payload that is being transmitted in a secure form over the Internet and provides rate computations for such payloads based on the size of the data. A data container may be implemented as a digital envelope with the bitmap (digital picture) of a stamp. The current rate for the data container is shown on the stamp and is dynamically updated as data files are added to the envelope. The overall cost is a function of the applied rate card, the size of the data and the type of security services provided.
