System for management and processing of electronic vendor mail

A computer-implemented system for processing secure electronic documents from one or more content providers in accordance with subscriber instructions, comprising:

• a processor;
• a monitoring module operative within the processor to obtain a provider GUID, a subscriber GUID, and a transaction ID from public metadata associated with a transaction received from a particular content provider;
• a determination module operative within the processor to determine any designees of the subscriber and contact information one or more of the subscriber and any designees;
• and
• a transaction module operative within the processor to distribute a transaction addressed to at least one of the subscriber and any designees,
• wherein each transaction distributed by the transaction module includes one of a transaction ID and a derivative transaction ID derived from the transaction ID.

A computer-implemented system for managing transmission of encrypted electronic documents over a network between a content provider and a subscriber, the electronic documents including publicly inspectable metadata, comprising:

• a database having a plurality subscriber addresses and up to a plurality of supplemental addresses associated with each subscriber in relation to a document-type of the content provider;
• a management station having a processor that is configured by code executing therein to:
• receive a particular electronic document having the metadata;
• obtain the public metadata associated with the particular electronic document;
• retrieve from the database routing information for the particular electronic database on the basis of the obtained metadata;
• and
• route the particular electronic document in accordance with the retrieved routing in formation.

A computer-implemented system for preparing content having a content type for transmission as an electronic document over a network from a content provider to a managed subscriber having a subscriber ID, comprising:

• a processor;
• a content enrichment module operative within the processor to output an enriched content that includes the content, public metadata, and private metadata, wherein the public and private metadata in the enriched content is included in accordance with a standard template associated with the content type and maintained by a trusted resource independent of the content provider;
• a validation engine operative within the processor to identify the content type and to compare the private metadata to the standard template associated with the content type to produce a validation signal;
• a key generator module operative within the processor to respond to requests with a PRN key;
• an encryption module operative within the processor, in communication with the key generator module, and further operative in accordance with the validation signal to request and receive the PRN key and to encrypt the content and the private metadata using the PRN key;
• a transaction formatting module operative within the processor in response to any encryption by the encryption module so as to create a record that comprises the encrypted content, the encrypted private metadata, and the public metadata;
• a request module operative within the processor in response to creation of the record so as to request the trusted resource for an asymmetric key and so as to include the asymmetric key in the record, wherein the asymmetric key is a public key asymmetric encryption of the PRN key;
• and
• a distribution module that distributes the transaction to the trusted resource.

A computer-implemented system for preparing content having a content type for transmission as an electronic document over a network from a content provider to a managed subscriber having a subscriber ID, comprising:

• a processor;
• a content enrichment module operative within the processor to output an enriched content that includes the content, public metadata, and private metadata, wherein the public and private metadata in the enriched content is included in accordance with a standard template associated with the content type and maintained by a trusted resource independent of the content provider;
• a key generator module operative within the processor to respond to requests with a PRN key;
• an encryption module operative within the processor, in communication with the key generator module, and further operative to request and receive the PRN key and to encrypt the content and the private metadata using the PRN key;
• a transaction formatting Module operative within the processor in response to any encryption by the encryption module so as to create a record that comprises the encrypted content, the encrypted private metadata, and the public metadata;
• a request module operative within the processor in response to creation of the record so as to request the trusted resource for an asymmetric key and so as to include the asymmetric key in the record, wherein the asymmetric key is a public key asymmetric encryption of the PRN key;
• and
• a distribution module that distributes the transaction to the trusted resource.
