Abstract

A system for regulation-based electronic message routing using an expanded open system interconnection (“OSI”) model. Information regulations and information policy rules comprise three additional layers beyond the standard seven-layer OSI model from a data store. Electronic messages are routed using a handling policy rule generator to validate destination, storage, and transport.

Claims (30)

1 . A system for regulation-based electronic message routing using an expanded open system interconnection (“OSI”) model comprising:

a plurality of computing devices each comprising at least a processor, a memory, and a network interface;

wherein a plurality of programming instructions stored in one or more of the memories and operating on one or more of the processors of the plurality of computing devices causes the plurality of computing devices to:

retrieve a plurality of information regulations and information policy rules comprising three additional layers beyond the standard seven-layer OSI model from a regulated data store;

receive an electronic message comprising a message payload, the message payload configured to utilize the expanded OSI model;

determine that the electronic message comprises information in one of the three additional layers that satisfies an information policy rule;

generate a message route for the electronic message using a handling policy rule generator, based on a respective information regulation and information policy rule; and

route the electronic message to a first router of the message route;

wherein the route comprises a path of router hops compliant with the information regulation and information policy rules.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the regulated data store includes a ledger feature to immutably record changes made to the regulated data store.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least a plurality of the information regulations is issued by at least one government entity from at least one geographical region.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least a plurality of the information policies is issued by at least one organization from at least one geographical region.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein layers one through seven of the expanded OSI model are the layers of the standard seven-layer OSI model and wherein:

one of the three additional layers comprises attributes relating to individuals;

one of the three additional layers comprises organizational directives; and

one of the three additional layers comprises political and geographical boundaries.

6 . A method for electronic message routing using an expanded open system interconnection (“OSI”) model comprising the steps of:

retrieving a plurality of information regulations and information policy rules comprising three additional layers beyond the standard seven-layer OSI model from a regulated data store;

receiving an electronic message comprising a message payload, the message payload configured to utilize the expanded OSI model;

determining that the electronic message comprises information in one of the three additional layers that satisfies an information policy rule;

generating a message route for the electronic message using a handling policy rule generator, based on a respective information regulation and information policy rule; and

routing the electronic message to a first router of the message route.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the regulated data store includes a ledger feature to immutably record changes made to the regulated data store.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein at least a plurality of the information regulations is issued by at least one government entity from at least one geographical region.

9 . The system of claim 6 , wherein at least a plurality of the information policies is issued by at least one organization from at least one geographical region.

10 . The system of claim 6 , wherein layers one through seven of the expanded OSI model are the layers of the standard seven-layer OSI model and wherein:

one of the three additional layers comprises attributes relating to individuals;

one of the three additional layers comprises organizational directives; and

one of the three additional layers comprises political and geographical boundaries.

11 . One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system employing a similarity subsystem, cause the computing system to perform the method of claim 6 .
