Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process that includes receiving first input defining a relationship between first and second entities, generating a first rule based on the first input, wherein the first rule determines accessibility of a networked service, and associating the first rule with the relationship. The first rule modifies settings of a service management infrastructure to effectuate the first rule in accordance with the relationship, wherein the service management infrastructure provides access to the networked service based on the accessibility. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- authenticating, by a processing system comprising a processor, equipment of a first party and equipment of a second party, wherein the authenticating comprises a dynamic authorization based on a time and location of the equipment of the first party and equipment of the second party;
- providing to the equipment of the first party and equipment of the second party, by the processing system comprising a processor, party information including a first root identity for the first party and a second root identity for the second party, and wherein first additional personas of a first plurality of personas for the first party are linked to the first root identity and second additional personas of a second plurality of personas for the second party are linked to the second root identity;
- determining, by the processing system, a first determined persona from the first plurality of personas for the first party and a second determined persona from the second plurality of personas for the second party based on a present interaction between the equipment of the first party and the equipment of the second party;
- generating, by the processing system, a first rule according to the first determined persona and the second determined persona, wherein the first rule defines an interaction between the first party and the second party via an information resource;
- configuring, by the processing system, the information resource based on the first rule resulting in configured service management infrastructure that supports access to the information resource via network devices and the equipment of the first party in accordance with the first rule and according to a determination that the equipment of the first party is authenticated according to the dynamic authorization;
- and
- providing, by the processing system, access to the information resource via the configured service management infrastructure for the present interaction.
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- providing to equipment of a first party and equipment of a second party information including a first root identity for the first party and a second root identity for the second party, and wherein first additional personas of a first plurality of personas for the first party are linked to the first root identity and second additional personas of a second plurality of personas for the second party are linked to the second root identity;
- determining information concerning selection of selectable characteristics pertaining to a social relationship between the first party and the second party, wherein the selectable characteristics comprise fixed attributes and dynamic attributes, wherein the fixed attributes include fixed party information, and wherein the dynamic attributes include dynamic party information;
- determining a first determined persona from the first plurality of personas for the first party and a second determined persona from the second plurality of personas for the second party based on a present interaction between the first party and the second party;
- generating a first rule according to the first determined persona and the second determined persona, wherein the first rule defines an interaction between the first party and the second party via an information resource;
- configuring the information resource based on the first rule resulting in configured service management infrastructure that supports access to the information resource via network devices and user equipment in accordance with the first rule;
- authenticating the equipment of the first party via a dynamic authorization based on a time and location of the equipment of the first party;
- and
- providing access to the information resource via the configured service management infrastructure for the present interaction responsive to a determination that the equipment of the first party is authenticated.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving from equipment of a first entity, from equipment of a second entity, or from both, a first input defining party information including a first root identity for the first entity and a second root identity for the second entity, and wherein first additional personas of a first plurality of personas for the first entity are linked to the first root identity and second additional personas of a second plurality of personas for the second entity are linked to the second root identity;
- determining a first determined persona from the first plurality of personas for the first entity and a second determined persona from the second plurality of personas for the second entity based on a present interaction between the first entity and the second entity;
- generating a first rule according to the first determined persona and the second determined persona, wherein the first rule defines an interaction between the first entity and the second entity via an information resource;
- configuring the information resource based on the first rule resulting in configured service management infrastructure that supports access to the information resource via network devices and user equipment in accordance with the first rule;
- receiving an authentication of the equipment of the first entity and the equipment of the second entity via a first dynamic authorization of the equipment of the first entity based on a first time based, intermittent multifactor authentication and a second dynamic authorization of the second entity based on a second time based, intermittent multifactor authentication;
- and
- providing access to the information resource via the configured service management infrastructure for the present interaction responsive to a determination that the equipment of the first entity and the equipment of the second entity are each authenticated.
