Techniques for managing electronic user profiles are presented herein. An example method includes accessing, from a data structure, a user profile. The user profile can include a profile identifier and a plurality of data fields. The method also includes displaying, on a display device, an interactive user interface. The user interface can include a plurality of user interface action elements. Each of the user interface action elements can be associated with a data field in the data structure. Each of the user interface action elements can also be individually selectable by a respective user action to transmit the associated data field to a remote device. In response to receiving a selection of a user interface action element, the method can further include transmitting the associated data field and the profile identifier to a router configured to send, based on the profile identifier, the associated data field to the remote device.

Interactive user interface for profile management

Multiuse certificates (e.g., wildcard certificates) can be associated with policies that specify one or more computational constraints, e.g., limited processor power, limited access time, limited access to file system usage, or limited memory access. An application associated with a multiuse certificate can be monitored to ensure that the specified computational constraints are not violated. Upon the computational constraints being violated, the multiuse certificate can be invalidated and/or authentication requests rejected.

Constraint-based multiuse certificates

A cryptographic tracking engine is disclosed that can track a user's data over the Internet in a way that allows the user to maintain control over the data downstream while maintaining the security of the stored data. An online entity provides an identifier that is encrypted using a first mechanism. Further, the user provides a data item for an electronic communication between two users. The data item is encrypted using the first mechanism. The data encrypted using the first mechanism is stored in a cryptographic entry. Other data for the electronic communication between the a first and second user is encrypted using a second encryption mechanism, such as a block cipher. The user can then selectively expose data stored in the cryptographic entry on a block-by-block basis to track exchanges of data over the Internet.
