First Claim
1. A networked commercial interaction management method providing secure authenticated data delivery by at least one computer system, comprising the steps of:
- defining a profile for a user including a set of values for a plurality of information fields,receiving information bundles from different networked users in a same machine-readable format, wherein the machine-readable format includes values for the plurality of information fields,processing, by the computer system, the machine-readable format including the values for the plurality of information fields in the information bundles,presenting at least parts of the information bundles from the different users based on the values for the plurality of fields for the profile and the values for the plurality of fields for the bundles, andautomatically modifying the profile based on information contained in the bundles received in the step of receiving.

Abstract
A method comprises making a set of personal profiles available, from at least one buy-side user to at least one sell-side user, each personal profile in the set of personal profiles including a first set of first values for a plurality of information fields, the plurality of information fields relating to commercial transactions. Based upon the at least part of the set of personal profiles, the method receives a request to enter into a trusted relationship from the at least one sell-side user at the at least one buy-side user, and receives a set of trusted relationship information from the at least one sell-side user at the at least one buy-side user. The method sends the set of trusted relationship information, from the at least one buy-side user to the at least one sell-side user. The relationship includes a variable level of trust which affects the amount of infrastructure functionality available to one or more users and wherein the variable level of trust comprises a first level of trust and a second level of trust and wherein the first level of trust is set by the at least one buy-side user and the second level of trust is set by the at least one sell-side user.

26. A networked computer system for managing secure authenticated commercial interactions, comprising:
-
a computer system in communication with an electronic network and at least one database, wherein the computer system comprises; user profile storage including storage for a set of values for a plurality of information fields, a bundle interface responsive to a network and operative to receive information bundles from different networked users in a same machine-readable format, wherein each of the information bundles having the machine-readable format includes a bundle type, a data element reference and values for the plurality of information fields, wherein at least one data element reference corresponds to a data element that remains resident on a node of associated with a data owner the network, a filter, implemented by the computer system, responsive to the bundle interface and to the user profile storage and operative to present at least parts of the information bundles from the different users based on the values for the plurality of fields for the profile and the values for the plurality of fields for the bundles, and profile modification functionality, executed by the computer system, responsive to the bundle interface and in communication with the profile, automatically modifying the profile based on information contained in the bundles received by the bundle interface, wherein the user profile storage, the bundle interface, the filter, and the profile modification functionality are each stored on a non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium.

27. A networked system for managing secure authenticated commercial interactions, comprising:
-
means for defining a user profile including a set of values for a plurality of information fields, means for receiving information bundles from different networked users in a same machine-readable format, wherein the machine-readable format includes values for the plurality of information fields, means for presenting at least parts of the information bundles from the different users based on the values for the plurality of fields for the profile and the values for the plurality of fields for the bundles, and means for automatically modifying the profile based on information contained in the bundles received by the means for receiving.
