A method for storing a first data object, includes: on a client device, decomposing the first data object into a first fragment associated with a first original record locator and a second fragment associated with a second original record locator; on the client device, obfuscating the first original record locator to generate a first obfuscated record locator and the second original record locator to generate a second obfuscated record locator; on the client device, encrypting the first fragment using a first encryption key and the second fragment using a second encryption key; and storing, to at least a first of a plurality of storage locations, the first encrypted fragment with the corresponding first obfuscated record locator and the second encrypted fragment with the second obfuscated record locator.

A method for authenticated communications between devices, includes: establishing communications for data streaming between a first device and a second device; establishing a shared key; exchanging the shared key between the first device and the second device; encrypting a dataset by the first device using the shared key; decrypting the dataset by the second device using the shared key; evaluating key regeneration criteria to determine whether the shared key should be regenerated; in response to determining that the shared key should be regenerated, generating a new shared key, and encrypting a next dataset by the first device using the new shared key.

A system for storing and managing credentials and encryption keys, includes: a first data store and a second data store; a client device configured to transmit a request to retrieve user data stored in the first data store; a secure key platform configured to: store user credentials and data store credentials in the second data store separate from the user data stored in the first data store; receive, from the client device, the request to retrieve user data stored in the first data store; retrieve, from the second data store, user credentials associated with a user of the client device and data store credentials associated with the first data store in response to the request to retrieve user data; use the user credentials of the user of the client device and data store credentials of the first data store to retrieve user data from the first data store; and provide the user data to the client device.

Systems and methods to provide assistance for completion during user input. In one embodiment, a method includes automatically generating profiles for persons identified in messages, such as incoming and outgoing emails.

The method includes: acquiring original community data of a community user; calculating intimacy scores of the community user with respect to other community users according to the original community data of the community user, the intimacy scores being used for indicating degrees of intimacy of the community user with respect to the other community users; clustering the community users according to the intimacy scores of the community user with respect to the other community users, and forming a community user circle; and displaying the community user circle to community users in the community user circle, so that the community users in the community user circle communicate with each other. The apparatus includes: a first acquiring module, a calculation module, a clustering module, and a display module.

A system for providing a directory service for generating network presence documents may include a computer processor and memory having instructions stored thereon. These may instruct the processor to parse registration information of a member to obtain a set of keywords. Using the set of keywords, the network maybe searched for information about the member, and registration information may be created based on the information. A trusted network presence document may be generated to include at least a first portion of the registration information as read only content. A link may be created between a profile document and the trusted network presence document. The profile document may include at least a second portion of the registration information as customizable content customizable by the member. The document may then be published on the network.

Techniques for publishing a profile timeline of a member are described.. publisher receives, from a device of a viewer, a request to view a profile page of a member of an online social network. The publisher accesses employment data of the member having a first job associated with a first job title at a first employer with a specific duration. Additionally, the publisher can select a plurality of other members, each member in the plurality of other members having a similar job title related to the first job title. Furthermore, the publisher can determine an average duration for the first job title based on information accessed from the plurality of other members, and generate a first timeframe using the accessed employment data of the member. Subsequently, the publisher causes a presentation, on a display of the device, of the profile page of the member having the generated first timeframe.
