Abstract
A method for sharing content between clients at a common trust level in a trust hierarchy associated with a network implementing policy-based management includes making a first request for delivery of content, receiving the requested electronic content, receiving a second request for delivery of the electronic content, communicating the second request, receiving a decision, and delivering the electronic content if the second request is granted. The first request is made to a policy enforcement point in the network for delivery of content to a first client, and includes a trust level of the first client. The second request is for delivery of the content to a second client at the trust level of the first client and includes integrity information about the second client, and is communicated to the policy enforcement point. If the second request is granted, the content is delivered from the first client to the second client.
