Abstract
Solutions for controlling data exposure among computing entities are described. A data transfer agent (DTA) module includes a data payload portion to store information content conditionally transferable to at least one other DTA module, and a code portion containing instructions that operationally implement: a DTA connectivity link to the at least one other DTA module; an attestation module to obtain, via the DTA connectivity link, attestation from each of the at least one other DTA module indicating a data output connectivity configuration of that other DTA module; and a decision module to determine a degree of permissible interaction with each of the at least one other DTA module based the attestation and on decision criteria.
