Abstract
Regulating trade activities comprises receiving information identifying a potential trading party, normalizing at least a portion of the received identifying information to generate a normalized identifier for the potential trading party, comparing the normalized identifier with one or more other normalized identifiers corresponding to parties with whom trade should be restricted, and selectively restricting trading with the potential trading party.
