Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for setting up persistent, secure communication channels between remote groups of individuals over an unreliable network such as a packet switched or frame relay network. A group, which could be an individual, searches for another group, which could be an individual, through a hierarchical search structure. When the search results in a group that the searching group wants to communicate with, the searching group sends an invitation to the identified group and when the invitation is accepted a persistent communication channel is configured between the two groups.
