Abstract: Apparatus and methods of operation of the apparatus that create a virtual machine and enable an Agent within the virtual machine to another Agent via a digital communications network and establish a communication channel for logical communications via the digital communications network. Communications transmitted and received according to the present invention proceed directly from a PeN agent to a second Agent without any storage or recordation of the transaction on an intermediate server. In some embodiments, the digital communications according to the present invention remain essentially imperceptible to network operators.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods of operation of the apparatus that enable two Agents to locate each other on an electronics communications network and establish a communication channel for electronic communications via the electronic communications network. Communications transmitted and received according to the present invention proceed directly from a first Agent to a second Agent without any storage or recordation of the transaction on an intermediate server. In some embodiments, the electronic communications according to the present invention remain essentially imperceptible to network operators.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a registry is displayed. The registry may, for example, indicate resources available from a plurality of remote network access devices via a communications network. Moreover, a personal network address may be associated with each available resource, the personal network address including an destination address portion and an application program identifier portion. A direct communications link may then be established between a first network access device hosting an available resource and a second network address device using the personal network address associated with the resource.
