Your Own Private Office is the fortress of your privacy.

Like all structures built by Abyx Properties, Your Own Private Office complies with all building codes and carries an occupancy permit. Among other things, that means that only individuals presenting identity credentials of specified minimum quality may gain access beyond the reception area or service window. And of course they must have specific permission from you.

Unlike our other structures, however, a maximum of two people are allowed into an Individual Private Office. In the case of your own private office, the first individual is you. If your situation is like most, you'll be the only person who is allowed access to Your Own Private Office. You may, if you wish, allow one other individual to have access, and you may hire a robotic personal secretary who remains in Your Own Private Office at all times.

The key to your office consists of an identity credential of minimal strength. Building codes in most communities specify a minimum strength identity credential of 20 on a scale of 60. That means a certificate with minimum 1024 bit private key produced by means of the Val-ID Lite enrollment procedure.

In Your Own Private Office you'll find places for:

Personal NDA files

Your Personal NDA files specify what individual or group of individuals may have access to which pieces of information about you. You may list as many Personal NDAs as you wish, with each one identifying an individual or class of individuals. 

Your Personal NDA files take the form of an XML document 

Structured Pieces of Information

Certain information such as your name, the address of your physical residence(s), your telephone numbers, names of dependents etc. may be identified by tags that categorize the information. Files containing these structured pieces of information are in a format that is built upon the specifications in W3C  XForms 1.0, (Third Edition). 

Unstructured Pieces of Information

Your photos, poetry, diaries, etc. fall into this category. If it can't be characterized with a tag, it's unstructured.. Your unstructured information is kept in filing cabinets that in old fashioned computer terms would be called directories. Separate permissions in your Personal NDA apply to the directories and to the files themselves, so you may grant permission for a supplicant to know what sorts of information are in a filing cabinet without necessarily allowing them to open it and retrieve your information without your explicit permission.

Unfilled Supplications

Ordinarily a request, called a supplication, will arrive at the service window of Your Own Office and will be immediately filled or denied, based upon the instructions in the Personal NDA  that has been digitally signed by that entity. However, if Personal NDA does not exist for a particular supplicant or if a valid Personal NDA for a particular supplicant does not grant permission to obtain a particular piece of information, the supplicant may petition you for the requested information. The request will be found in your Unfilled Supplications files. Supplications and responses are communicated using the EPAL privacy authorization protocol.

Your private office is accessible only by you, and only after you have established an identity credential that meets the quality standards set by the jurisdiction in which your private office is located.
