Patent ID: 8805846

Claim:
A method for sharing information, comprising: storing a library of assets in a manner in which each of the assets can be retrieved regardless of location; creating a card having particular information about one or more assets of the library of assets associated with a first user; receiving, from the first user, a selection of a second user to be permitted access to the one or more assets via the card; adding to the card: an identity block that uniquely identifies the second user via a plurality of identity properties, wherein the plurality of identity properties include a primary identity property of the second user and one or more sub-identity properties of the second user, wherein the one or more sub-identity properties is known only to a system that generates the sub-identity properties, and wherein the plurality of identity properties are tracked by the system such that it is not necessary for the first user to track changes to the identity properties associated with the second user, and a key that enables the second user to access the one or more assets, wherein the key is associated with a particular one of the one or more sub-identity properties included in the identity block; and distributing the card to the second user, wherein the key included in the card enables the second user to utilize the one or more assets without requiring retrieval of the one or more assets.
