First Claim
Patent Images
1. At least one computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method comprising:
- receiving data in a data flow;
extracting a data visa from the data flow, wherein the data visa travels with the data through the data flow and includes reputation determination information from at least one previous hop network element in the data flow;
bypassing a security filter based on the reputation determination information;
determining a reputation of the data based on the data and the reputation determination information, wherein the reputation of the data is determined from meta data included in the data visa, and the meta data includes a title or role of a user, a geo-location of the user, or a historic data use profile of the user;
storing the reputation of the data in the data visa; and
communicating the data visa and the data to a next network element in the data flow.

Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to receive data in a data flow, extract a data visa from the data flow, wherein the data visa is related to the data, and determine a reputation of the data from the data visa. The data visa can include reputation determination information obtained by previous network elements in the data flow. In addition, the electronic device can update the data visa, and communicate the updated data visa and data to a next network element in the data flow.
