Abstract
A computer provides a secure, virtual personalized network (SVPN) for a first user with master privileges and at least a second user with guest privileges in the SVPN. Notably, the computer may execute a virtual machine that provides a container for the SVPN of the first user, and the first electronic device associated with the first user and a second electronic device associated with the second user may execute instances of an application that facilitates secure communication in the SVPN. Moreover, the first electronic device may store a set of first encryption keys and the second electronic device may store a set of second encryption keys, which allow the first electronic device and the second electronic device to securely communicate with each other via the SVPN. Note that the computer may not be able to access the set of first encryption keys or the set of second encryption keys.
