Abstract

A secure trusted network of unique natural persons is formed by a configuration of natural person users, network gateways, and a network guardian. Users are allowed one registration per lifetime, and therefore have durable reputations on a secure trusted network. With all users having durable reputations, interactions on a secure trusted network are robust and reliable in comparison to less trusted and secure networks. Network gateways allow users to interact with other networks while protecting their data stream and provisioning identity information as may be required.

Claims

1. A method for providing a secure trusted network of unique natural persons with one lifetime registration on that network, the method comprising:

network gateways, that register and authenticate users, and isolate their data traffic when connected; and

a single network guardian, that insures each user is a unique natural person with a lifetime registration on the network so that each user has a durable reputation on the network; and

interconnections between users, gateways, and the network guardian arranged so that users are isolated, the gateways are peers, and the network guardian may administer the network.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising a secure trusted virtual network.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising a secure trusted physical network.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising a secure trusted wireless network.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising a secure trusted combination virtual, wireless, and physical network in any combination of those three.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising data filtering by the network gateway so that the gateway simultaneously protects unique identified users and learns their preferences

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising provisioning unique identified user identities across a secure trusted network and other connected data networks that includes unique identified users using their real identities, partial identity information, false identities, and anonymity as per the users wishes and the requirements of third parties.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing unique identified users to use multiple devices, optionally simultaneously, on a secure trusted network.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising of allowing minors and other non-fully responsible individuals to use a secure trusted network through the sponsorship of a unique identified user.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing temporary access to a unique identified user'"'"'s data file on a gateway or guardian server as per the user'"'"'s request and third party requirements.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising a network gateway enhancing security by monitoring each unique identified user'"'"'s traffic for out of character behavior.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising globally filtering undesirable content on a secure trusted network by the network gateways sharing information on undesirable content with each other and the network guardian

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising reducing repetitive actions by unique identified users of a secure trusted network by the network gateways learning and anticipating user actions based on historical patterns.

14. The method of claim 1, further comprising offering advertising and marketing services by the network gateways based upon their intimate knowledge of not only past user actions, but ability to track future user actions, allowing network gateways to target ads precisely and charge marketers based upon actual purchases made by unique identified users of a secure trusted network

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising collecting and organizing unique identified user'"'"'s data so that they may have as much as a lifetime of data available on a secure trusted network

16. The method of claim 1, further comprising replacing physical identity and credit cards with verifying identity and credit through a secure trusted network for its unique identified users.

17. The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing intellectual property to be bought and sold over a secure trusted network between unique identified users with the transaction, and potentially use, of the intellectual property monitored by the network gateways and guardian.

18. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing common computing applications to unique identified users of a secure trusted network within the secure space of the network.

19. A method of organizing content on a network with unique identified users with durable reputations, the method comprising:

tagging of content, tags, categorized ratings, and users; and

rating of tagging of content, tags, categorized ratings, and users; and

using the categorized ratings and tags to organize the data for network users.
