Abstract
The disclosed systems and techniques enable data cycling operations for an aliasing system to refresh first and second copies of aliases maintained by an aliasing server and a server that interacts with end-user devices (e.g., an enterprise server). More generally, the disclosed systems and techniques enable an enterprise system to use alias addresses (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers) for users while avoiding storing and managing the users' personal addresses. For example, the enterprise system may forward personal addresses (e.g., received from a user) to a relay or aliasing server configured to generate alias addresses (e.g., alias email addresses or alias phone numbers) based on the personal addresses. The aliasing server may operate as a “middle man” that receives emails, phone calls, or text messages directed to the alias addresses and that forwards the messages to the personal addresses (when appropriate).
