The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for user-controlled access control for user information. One example method includes sending an authentication request to authenticate as a requesting entity to a first decentralized resource directory of a providing entity. An authentication challenge is received, via the connection, from the providing entity, and in response to the authentication request, to store an authentication challenge value for an authentication challenge key in a second decentralized resource directory of the requesting entity. The authentication challenge value for the authentication challenge key is stored in the second decentralized resource directory. An authentication challenge response is sent to the providing entity requesting the providing entity to verify the authentication challenge. An indication is received from the providing entity indicating that the requesting entity is authenticated to the first decentralized resource directory as the requesting entity.

Automation of user identity using network protocol providing secure granting or revocation of secured access rights

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for enhanced login processes. A first login page of a website is received that includes a field that enables a user to enter a handle for a decentralized resource directory. A handle for the decentralized resource directory is received in the field and provided to a webserver. A second login page is received that includes a challenge code for the handle. A challenge value is generated based on the challenge code. A location in the decentralized resource directory is determined, based on the challenge value. A request is sent to a protocol server that manages the personalized resource directory to store the challenge value in the decentralized resource directory at the location as a login challenge response for logging into the website. A login result page is received that indicates a result of the webserver processing the login challenge response.

Enhanced login processes using proprietary security and protocol for sharing and managing personal information

A system includes a storage device to store information associated with virtual nodes that correspond to network nodes. The system also includes a server to install a virtual node that corresponds to one of the network nodes, based on the information associated with the virtual node, where installing the virtual node includes creating a logical interface via which traffic is to be sent to, or received from, other virtual nodes; start the virtual node to create an operating virtual node based on a copy of an operating system that is run on the network node, where starting the virtual node causes the operational virtual node to execute the copy of the operating system; and cause the operating virtual node to communicate with a virtual network that includes the virtual nodes, where causing the operating virtual node to communicate with the virtual network enables the operating virtual node to receive or forward traffic associated with the virtual network.
