  • Patent number: 8214638
    Abstract: A source computer is associated with multiple certificates. The source signs each certificate with a separate private key. From time to time, the source generates (a) new key pair(s) to replace (an) old one(s). The source uses the new private key(s) to sign the associated certificate(s). The source then requests a connection to a destination computer, the request being associated with the multiple certificates which identify the source. The source also transmits the new public key(s). The destination receives the request, and checks the certificates for validity. If less than all but at least a threshold number of the certificates are valid, the destination notes that one or more new public keys are being distributed. The destination accepts the connection, receives the new public key(s) associated with the invalid certificate(s), and replaces the corresponding old public key(s).

  • Publication number: 20030216982
    Abstract: A messaging gateway facilitates collaboration among groups of loosely-related people. Users send collaboration requests along relationship chains in search of someone who can fulfill the request. Relationship chains are made up of links of users. Users who forward or respond to the request can receive payment. The messaging gateway encourages risk management by providing payment statistics covering past transactions to each message recipient. The messaging gateway can also add links to previously fulfilled collaboration requests or other information that will help the recipient fulfill the request. The messaging gateway can log payments sent to a user. The messaging gateway generates payment demands and adds them to a reply message to facilitate payment. The messaging gateway may also initiate payments to users. If the recipient so indicates, the messaging gateway generates a parent message from a child message.
