| Abstract: | A technique for dynamically sharing information includes executing a
sharing policy indicating when to share a data object responsive to the
occurrence of an event. The data object is created by formatting a data
file to be shared with a receiving entity. The data object includes a
file data portion and a sharing metadata portion. The data object is
encrypted and then automatically transmitted to the receiving entity upon
occurrence of the event. The sharing metadata portion includes metadata
characterizing the data file and referenced in connection with the
sharing policy to determine when to automatically transmit the data
object to the receiving entity. |
