  • Publication number: 20230342789
    Abstract: A method for seamlessly and automatically granting tailored permission for use and transference of Internet data between databases with comprehensive consent is described. The method employs a graph language such as JSON-LD to integrate and employ cryptographically signed Information Sharing Agreements (ISA) between parties. Data is serialized to be easily transferred between databases when appropriate permission is obtained. Granular data exchange under usage control contacts can be automated among any number of parties on the Internet. As such, the method provides a means by which users may control not only what may be done with their data, but to what entity or entities the data may be transferred. Advertisements may then be served to the user according to his or her preferences as defined within a web or desktop app, which is then applied to all related ad publishers publishing to the domains visited by the user.

    Abstract: A method for seamlessly and automatically granting tailored permission for use and transference of internet data between databases with comprehensive consent is described. The method employs a graph language such as JSON-LD to integrate and employ cryptographically signed Information Sharing Agreements (ISAs) between parties.

Granular data exchange under usage control contacts can be automated among any number of parties on the internet. As such, the method provides a means by which users may control not only what may be done with their data, but to what entity or entities the data may be transferred.

  • Publication number: 20220337424
    Abstract: A method for facilitating decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) includes, using one or more computer processors, receiving, from each of a plurality of parties, one or more inputs. Based on the inputs a contract is established between and among the parties providing governance for a DAO. A hash of the contract is generated. Cryptographic signatures are added to the hash from each party, establishing a cryptographically signed hash validating a finalized contract, the cryptographically signed hash including the hash and the cryptographic signatures. The cryptographically signed hash is provided to each of the parties. The finalized contract or an additional contract may allow the parties to purchase and sell tokens associated with the DAO using software agents. Apparatuses for facilitating DAOs are configured for performing the methods. In implementations the contract facilitates ownership and exchange of one or more nonfungible tokens (NFTs) instead of or in addition to governing a DAO.

  • Publication number: 20160300223
    Abstract: An electronic marketplace system that protects data transfers across disparate servers or networks can include communication devices that couple system users to a mesh network of public key identity servers and/or link contract servers that are interconnected. The public key identity servers collectively contain a global last-closed ledger of public encryption keys for system users, and verify users using the public keys by accessing local ledgers or asking other identity servers for the public keys. A link contract server provides a link contract regarding the allowed use of the transferred protected data, and provides for a data transfer between the parties after all have agreed thereto. The link contract can be in JSON format in an HTTP or HTTPS header. Users can submit requests to link contract servers, and requests can be searched by vendors prior to proposing a link contract.
