A method of controlling dissemination of content to communication devices over one or more communication networks includes receiving, by a content dissemination mechanism, a message reflecting a user-initiated action that is to cause dissemination of a given content item to a plurality of communication devices each associated with a user. Responsive to the message, a group of communication devices is identified to which the given content item is to be disseminated. A first subset of the identified group is determined. The content item is disseminated to a first subset of communication devices in the identified group. The determining is based at least in part on a first ratings formula derived at least in part from ratings of the given content item provided by users to whom the given content item has already been disseminated.

System and methods for modulating dissemination of content to mobile devices and robots

In accordance a method for storing a dataset, the dataset may be split into fragments that are distributed among different nodes of a network for storage. The fragments may then be retrieved as and when needed and re-assembled. The method allows multiple different fragments to be stored and re-assembled on demand. The dataset is initially stored in a user computing device in communication with a data storage system and a custodial entity. The fragments are stored so that no single computing entity in the storage system or the custodian ever contains or gains knowledge of all the fragments. Additionally, the user computing device that was initially in possession of the dataset and which caused the fragments to be stored in the storage system may be replaced with different user computing devices without losing the capability of storing and re-assembling the user data on demand by the replacement user computing device.

Storing and retrieving user data using joint, non-correlative, irreversible and private indexical expressions

An online service provisioning process is provided during which the service provider's knowledge about the user to whom the service is delivered does not increase. This is accomplished by presenting user attribute information to the service provider as obfuscated objects that can be independently verified and which are privacy preserving.

Software-based switch for providing products and/or services to users without compromising their privacy

Applications of the privacy switch technology are shown for handling data breaches in database systems, thereby providing fundamental improvements to the security and utility of database technology.

Database system for protecting and securing stored data using a privacy switch

A method for communicating information relating to test results of a user includes obtaining test results of a user. An assertion is derived from the test results of the user. The test results are input to a pre-provisioned first algorithm. The assertion is encapsulated in a first data object by a PGE that controls an environment in which the first algorithm is executed. A first proof is generated which is configured to be usable to verify that the first algorithm used the test results to produce the assertion when provided to a PVE along with the first data object. The test results itself are excluded from the first proof and the first data object such that privacy of the test results is maintained. The first proof and the first data object are communicated to a receiving communication device from an enterprise communication device associated with the user and an enterprise.

Testing and other data communicated using trust models in decentralized and distributed systems

A method for sharing information has an assertion associated therewith such that the receiving communication device is able to verify the assertion without the sender revealing underlying data demonstrating the validity of the assertion. The assertion is derived from underlying data input to a pre-provisioned first algorithm. The assertion is encapsulated in a first data object by a PGE that controls an environment in which the first algorithm is executed. A first proof is generated that is configured to verify that the first algorithm used the underlying data to produce the assertion when provided to a PVE along with the first data object. The underlying data is excluded from the first proof and the first data object such that privacy of the underlying data is maintained. The information, the first proof and the first data object are sent to the receiving communication device from the sending communication device.

User identity and trust models in decentralized and distributed systems

Systems and techniques described herein are concerned with providing supervisory control of computer programs. In particular, a method for executing application code defining a computer program includes providing a 'kill switch' to the operator, which allows the operator to disable the computer program. The kill switch is configured so that the computer program is incapable of over-riding it.

User controlled trusted and isolated computing environments

A method is provided for validating an assertion provided by a web resource. The method includes: sending a first request to the web resource over a communications network; responsive to the first request, receiving a web page from the web resource, the web page including at least one user-selectable representation of a cryptographic credential, the cryptographic credential including at least one assertion that is based on underlying data and at least one proof that allows verification that the assertion accurately reflects the underlying data without revealing the underlying data; receiving a selection of the user-selectable representation that causes a second request for verification of the proof to be sent over the communications network; and responsive to the second request, receiving a response indicating whether or not the representation accurately reflects the underlying data.

System and method establishing a trust model for shared content on the internet

A method for achieving consensus amongst a distributed and decentralized set of computers, devices or components in a network interacting via messaging is presented. The method does not rely on the availability of an overall ledger that is consulted for every interaction. Rather, the interacting components communicate directly with each other via messages that contain proofs of consistency that may be used to achieve local consistency amongst the interacting components. Local consistency guarantees global consistency. For regulatory and record keeping purposes, use of an overall ledger may be contemplated for regulatory and record keeping purposes. The latter may be updated by the interacting devices via an asynchronous updating mechanism.

Efficient mining operations in blockchain environments with non-secure devices

Consistency and consensus management in decentralized and distributed systems

Decentralization of application programs is a growing trend. It is known that user data communicated to different components of a transaction or application may be linked to derive a composite profile of users. A system and methods are presented that maintain user data privacy in decentralized networks, possibly containing multiple sensor devices. Applications to controlling smart devices and service portability across providers are shown.
