    Abstract: A system is presented for facilitating management of user attribute information at one or more attribute information providers (AIPs), which can manage the user's attribute information in accordance with user-selected or administratively-determined options, including options that are stored in attribute release policies and/or dynamically determined during a transaction. E-commerce service providers (ECSPs), such as online banks or merchants, also maintain a relationship with an AIP such that the ECSP can trust the user attribute information that is provided by the AIP on behalf of the user. The user can complete transactions that require user attribute information at any ECSP without having to have previously established a relationship with that particular ECSP. If the ECSP has a relationship with one of the user's AIPs, then the user will be able to direct the ECSP to an AIP when the ECSP needs user attribute information to complete a transaction for the user.

    Abstract: A NETWORK SYSTEM SERVER THAT PROVIDES PASSWORD SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN A MAIN DATA STORE (102) AND A PLURALITY OF SECONDARY DATA STORES (108) IS DISCLOSED. THE NETWORK SERVER FURTHER INCLUDES A SECURITY SERVER (104), WHICH IS COUPLED TO THE MAIN DATA STORE, A PLURALITY OF CLIENTS (114), COUPLED TO THE SECURITY SERVER FOR ACCESSING THE MAIN DATA STORE WHEREIN EACH CLIENT MAINTAINS A UNIQUE, MODIFIABLE PASSWORD, AND A PASSWORD SYNCHRONIZATION SERVER (106), COUPLED TO THE SECURITY SERVER AND THE PLURALITY OF SECONDARY DATA STORES, THAT PROVIDES PASSWORD PROPAGATION SYNCHRONIZATION TO EACH OF THE SECONDARY DATA STORES FROM A USER ASSOCIATED WITH ONE OF THE PLURALITY OF CLIENTS SO THAT USER IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN A SINGLE, UNIQUE PASSWORD AMONG PLURALITY OF SECONDARY DATA STORES. THE PASSWORD PROPAGATION IS IMPOSED ON THE PLURALITY OF SECONDARY DATA STORES REGARDLESS OF THE CURRENT PASSWORD STATUS OF THE SECONDARY DATA STORES.
