Abstract

The systems and methods of modeling a private network communication, comprising: associating a with a digital identity of a first profile; allowing access by other profiles with digital invitation only; optionally adding another profile to the blacklist by default when a request to communicate is initiated without a digital invitation; sharing the credentials after authentication of the digital invitation; receiving an encrypted digital relationship request from a second profile for the first profile with an embedded temporal key; decrypting the temporal key and a digital identity of the requestor; sending an authenticated response from the first profile and performing one of the following: adding the second profile to a whitelist and communicating with the second profile using a secure channel if it determined that the authenticated response signal acceptance; or adding the second profile on a blacklist when the request is not desired or fails verification.

Claims (51)

1. A method of modeling a private network communication, comprising:

associating a secure and encrypted private network with a digital identity of a first profile wherein the private network includes access to content associated with the first profile;

establishing the private network as an overlay network on an existing public network, or establishing the private network as an overlay peer to peer network;

allowing access to the private network by other profiles with digital invitation only;

optionally adding another profile to a blacklist by default when a request to communicate is initiated without a digital invitation;

sharing the private network communication credentials after authentication of the digital invitation;

receiving an encrypted digital relationship request from a second profile, a requestor, for the first profile through the private network communication with an embedded temporal key;

decrypting the temporal key and a digital identity of the requestor;

sending an authenticated response from the first profile on the digital relationship request and performing one of the following:

adding the second profile to a whitelist and communicating with the second profile using a secure channel on the private network if it determined that the authenticated response signals an acceptance wherein the secure channel with the second profile does not include a server intermediary; or

adding the second profile on the blacklist if it is determined that the request is not desired or fails verification.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital invitation includes a signet of the first profile that is shared using one or more of the following: a business card, a posting on a website, broadcast on a public channel, shared with a private group at an event, shared on a social blog, exchanged by email, or digital information transfer.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the signet includes:

embedded information to get one or more of the following: an alias, a public key, a network address, or a phone number;

comprises of one or more of the following codes to contain the embedded information: a Quick Response Code, a bar code, a radio frequency identification tag, authentication code using public key, a near field communication code or a digital code; and

comprises of one or more of the following formats to encode the embedded information: binary using type-length-value, concise binary object representation, javascript object notation, eXtensible Markup Language or key/value pairs.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acceptance types includes one or more of the following:

permanent acceptance, transient acceptance based on geographic location, transient acceptance expiring with a lapse of a time period; or transient acceptance based on selected topics of a conversation.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the digital invitation is made public to all.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending the digital invitation using an out of band network channel.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first profile digitally resides on a computing device including one or more of the following: a personal computer, tablet, laptop, handheld device, smart device, or internet of things device.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sharing the whitelist or portions of the whitelist with another profile.

9. A system of modeling a private network communication, comprising:

a private network comprising of one or more profile computing devices configured to:

associate securely and with encrypted messaging with a digital identity of a first profile wherein the private network includes access to content associated with the first profile;

allow access to the private network by other profiles with digital invitation only;

optionally add another profile to a blacklist by default when a request to communicate is initiated without a digital invitation;

a first profile computing device on the private network configured to:

share the private network communication credentials after authentication of the digital invitation;

establish as an overlay network on an existing public network, or

establish as an overlay peer to peer network;

receive an encrypted digital relationship request from a second profile, a requestor, for the first profile through the private network communication with an embedded temporal key;

decrypt the temporal key and a digital identity of the requestor;

send an authenticated response from the first profile on the digital relationship request and performing one of the following:

add the second profile to a whitelist and communicating with the second profile using a secure channel on the private network if it determined that the authenticated response signals an acceptance wherein the secure channel with the second profile does not include a server intermediary; or

add the second profile on the blacklist if it is determined that the request is n not desired or fails verification.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital invitation includes a signet of the first profile that is shared using one or more of the following: a business card, a posting on a website, broadcast on a public channel, shared with a private group at an event, shared on a social blog, exchanged by email, or digital information transfer.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the signet includes:

embedded information to get one or more of the following: an alias, a public key, a network address or a phone number;

comprises of one or more of the following codes to contain the embedded information: a Quick Response Code, a bar code, a radio frequency identification tag, authentication code using public key, a near field communication code or a digital code; and

comprises of one or more of the following formats to encode the embedded information: binary using type-length-value, concise binary object representation, javascript object notation, eXtensible Markup Language or key/value pairs.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the acceptance types includes one or more of the following:

permanent acceptance, transient acceptance based on geographic location, transient acceptance expiring with a lapse of a time period or transient acceptance based on selected topics of a conversation.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the digital invitation is made public to all.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first profile computed device is further configured to:

send the digital invitation using an out of band network channel.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first profile computing device including one or more of the following: a personal computer, tablet, laptop, handheld device, smart device, or internet of things device.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first profile computing device is further configured to:

share the whitelist or portions of the whitelist with another profile.
