SECURE EXTRANET ACCESS TO COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES IN A COLLABORATIVE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to securing extranet access to a collaborative environment and provide a method, System and computer program product for secure extranet access to collaborative activities (170) in a collaborative environment (160). In an embodiment of the invention, a method for secure extranet access to collaborative activities in a collaborative environment can be provided. The method can include adding an extranet collaborator (140) to a collaborative space within a collaborative environment and establishing encryption credentials (190) for the extranet collaborator. Thereafter, in response to detecting a change to the collaborative space, the change (110A) can be encrypted with the credentials and the change can be messaged to the extranet collaborator. Notably, a contribution (HOB) to the activity can be received from the extranet collaborator. Once received, the contribution can be decrypted with the credentials and the contribution can be posted to the activity.
