Method for controlling access to resources, access control system, computer program product, data processing program and social networking system (anonymous sharing of resources based on social network user data)

摘要

A method for controlling access of a resource owner to a resource is provided. The owner may be a user of a resource computer system. Access control may be based on social network data of the social networking system. Access control may also be based on an owner token for the owner, a requester token for the requester requesting access to the resource, and an access control policy. The owner token and requester token can be received by the social networking system and the social networking system can determine whether to allow access to the resource based on the contents of the owner token and requester token . The owner's social network identity and the requesting social network identity may be determined only by the social network system. [Selection] Figure 2
