Abstract
A system protects private information provided in an exchange between a client and a server. The system receives the private information from the client and determines whether it is of a type to which a bond may be assigned. The bond provides an indemnity to the client for misuse of the private information. The system then assigns a bond to the private information, if it is determined to be of the type to which a bond may be assigned, and provides the private information to the server under bond.
