Abstract
An apparatus has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to compute computer network activity reputation attributes for a digital identity. The digital identity has identity attributes different than identity attributes associated with a real individual utilizing the digital identity for computer network activity. The storage of the computer network activity reputation attributes for the digital identity is coordinated within a block chain system distributed across a block chain network of computers. Computer network activity reputation attributes for the digital identity are supplied in response to a request from a machine. The computer network activity reputation attributes are communicated over a network of computers to the machine.
