Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for facilitating communications based on a trusted relationships. A system configured to practice the method first receives a communication request from a second communication device for a specific resource, wherein the communication request is based, at least in part, on trust information generated by a previously established trusted relationship. The system confirms, via an access to a trust database and using the trust information, (1) an identity of a sender of the communication request and (2) access permissions for a requested resource. Then, if the identity and the access permissions are confirmed, the system establishes communications between the first communications device and the second communications device in response to the communication request according to the specific resource. The trust information can include a trust user ID and a trust key.
