The Parental Consent Service involves creating a user profile that contains consent information regarding a network server for a second party. This consent information is received from a first party and stored in the user profile of the second party. The second party can access the network server only if the consent information indicates that the first party has provided consent. Conversely, access is denied if the first party has not granted consent. The In-line Sign In method allows a user to sign into a first server using the sign-in methodology of a second server. This method employs a nonce and an approved URL list to prevent spoofing and replay attacks.
