Abstract:
In a computer system having means for allowing access to a repository of data by a plurality of clients over at least one communications link connected to said computer system, data access control means comprising:means for interpreting the format of a data transmission occurring between said computer system and each of said clients wherein the transmission itself contains and is identified by one or more forresta identities, each of said forresta identities may be acted upon independently; and each of which is unique and unrelated to any means used to identify the parties receiving or sending such transmission; means for creating said forresta identity as an n-byte character sequence having no conflicting meaning within the coding constructs of a transmission; means for creating a unique session node managed by the data access control method, wherein said session node exists to identify and validate recognized forresta identities contained within each such transmission; and means for creating a construction sequence for each new transmission, said sequence identifying the components and forresta identities used to form the transmission and where said sequence results from interpreting forresta identities.
