Abstract

A method, system, and computer readable storage device (that stores the method) extract connectivity information from multiple telecommunication services, provided by a single multiple service provider. The method, system, and device merge the separate connectivity information from each service in a unified graph of telephone service users and digital service users (including common users of both services). The method, system, and device assigne trust values based on the connectivity information and shared data content between users. The method, system, and device may also issue a proxy certificate of authority (CA), by a trusted CA residing within the digital service, to provide digital service to a user of the telephone service in the unified graph, when the trusted CA is a nearest trusted CA in the unified graph.
