Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for automatically establishing trusted relationships between users across organizational boundaries. A user makes a request to his system to create a trusted relationship with an individual of another organization. The system then analyzes the previous communication history between the user and the other individual, and, based on that analysis, sends a query to the other individual's system. The system then receives a response from the other individual's system, and if the response matches an expected response the system forms a trusted relationship between the user and the other individual.
