Abstract

Asset management systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a system includes a computing resource associated with a project member. A project container is stored on the computing resource, wherein the project container comprises encrypted objects related to a project. The encrypted objects includes project metadata and one or more working objects associated with one or more sub-projects of which the project member is granted permissioned access. An encryption/decryption engine is included for encrypting and decrypting the encrypted objects. The system includes an archive file system for storing the encrypted objects and previous versions of the objects, and a façade file system for viewing and accessing and interacting with the one or more working objects. Other computing resources associated with other project members are similarly configured, wherein a plurality of project containers store distributed objects that are grouped within the project. An authentication server provides authenticated access to each of the plurality of project containers, and authenticated peer-to-peer communication between the plurality of project containers.
