This function is used to format messages for exchange between a facility and a message handling service. +
The Message Responding function provides feedback to senders regarding message delivery failures and/or recipient status. +
This function preserves and organizes digital messages. +
Converts/changes content of a message based on predefined rules during exchange. +
The Name Resolution serves lookups from a store of connected names and addresses. +
This function conveys digital information for use in the physical world, by converting digital information into events and/or physical information. +
This function offers a means to store and publish permissions (technical representations of business rules about infrastructural actions like reading or writing information). +
This function offers the ability to decide on allowing or disallowing a proposed action by a digital identity on a specified resource. +
