A VIRTUAL QUALITY-OF-PRIVACY ASSURANCE PROTOCOL, FOR MULTI-DISTRIBUTED DATABASE NETWORKING, AND APPURTENANCES USEFUL THEREWITH

摘要

A virtual quality-of-privacy assurance protocol, for multi-distributed database networking, and appurtenances useful therewith are disclosed. The assurance includes a method (and a system embodying this method), the method including the steps of: forming (201) an ensemble of virtual circuits within a data-communications media's infrastructure; managing (202) a transaction protocol between participants to at least one of the virtual circuits; and, for any pair of mutually transacting participants over any virtual circuit of the ensemble of virtual circuits, maintaining substantial response-for-response parity for querying within at least one predetermined class of respectively maintained proprietary data. The present invention furthermore relates to A Virtual Quality-of-Privacy Assurance Protocol currency economy. The preferred embodiment of the invention relates to wireless appurtenances, embodying portions of the protocol, for use with personal communications devices or with public or private base stations associated therewith.
