System and method for implementing policy server based application interaction manager

In one example embodiment, an apparatus includes a policy repository for storing a policy for application interaction. The policy defines, for a subscriber, a priority associated with a set of specific application identifiers. The priority further defines establishment priority and retention priority for an application identified by a selected application identifier. Another example embodiment includes an apparatus including a processor operable to evaluate a policy for application interaction. The policy defines, for a subscriber, a priority associated with a set of specific application identifiers. The priority further defines establishment priority and retention priority for an application identified by a selected application identifier. The processor is further operable to execute a decision for the subscriber based on the evaluation of the policy.

Control of interaction between client computer applications and network resources

An application policy engine for a computer blocks access to network resources by applications executing on the computer that are not authorized for such access by an application policy file. The application policy engine monitors outgoing network traffic from the computer and compares an identifier for the application contained in a network access request with application identifiers stored in the application policy file. If the application identifier is associated with an unauthorized application, access to the network is blocked by the application policy engine. In another aspect, an unauthorized application is allowed access to certain resources on a network while being blocked from other resources on the same network. In still a further aspect, an authorized application may be permitted only certain types of access to a network or network resource.

Methods and systems for universal, automatic service selection in a telecommunications signaling network

Methods and systems for universal, automatic service selection are disclosed. A method for universal, automatic service selection includes receiving signaling messages and identifying signaling connection control part (SCCP) messages from the signaling messages. The SCCP messages are decoded to extract SCCP parameters and application layer parameters from the messages. A routing address translation service is selected for each of the SCCP messages based on application identifiers that identify application layer message types alone or in combination with other parameters. Selecting the routing address translation service in this manner makes the service selection more robust and universally applicable, especially in networks where different or non-standard selector parameters are utilized.

System and method for defining location services

A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for defining location services in a simplified manner based upon whether the positioning request is an interactive request or a batch mode request. In order to initiate a positioning request, a Location Application (LA) must first register with at least one Mobile Location Center (MLC), define the service parameters specific for that LA and receive a Location Application Identifier Number (LAIN). Thereafter, the LA can send either an interactive or batch mode positioning request along with the LAIN. An interactive positioning request is a request to position a specific subscriber or group of subscribers immediately, while a batch mode positioning request is a request to position a subscriber or group of subscribers when a particular event defined by the LA occurs. Advantageously, the definition of location services is decoupled from issues, such as the point of origin of the request, the identity of the subscriber to be positioned and authorization options.

Method and apparatus for routing confidential information

A method and apparatus routes user information including confidential information and other information to a vendor in a secure manner without requiring the user to transmit information in a secure manner. The user provides a user identifier and information including confidential information to a response collector, who relates the user identifier to the user information. The response collector may verify the information to protect against fraud. An information provider provides an application identifier and vendor routing information to a response collector, who relates the vendor routing information to the application identifier. The application identifier corresponding to the vendor is broadcast to the user via an interactive information system application, and the interactive information system sends the application identifier, a user identifier and other response information to a response collector as directed by the user and the interactive information system application. The response collector may then route the user's information and other response information to the vendor according to the vendor routing information. The user may send anonymous responses in the same manner without sending the user identifier to the response collector.

Load balancing of server clusters

A load balancing scheme is described for a server cluster. An application identifier is received by the cluster from a client desiring to connect to the application. Each one of the servers in the cluster independently hashes the application identifier into a unique number. This unique number is used to determine a preferred one of the servers for the connection. The servers then each calculate a priority code using the unique number, a load level for each server, and / or a node identifier assigned to the servers in the cluster. If the preferred cluster server is available, it transmits its priority code to the client before the other servers transmit their priority codes. Otherwise, each of the available cluster servers transmits their priority codes to the client. The client selects the cluster server with the most favorable priority for making the connection.

Method and apparatus for providing an application on a smart card

A smart card contains potentially multiple applications, each containing an application identifier (AID). Each application also incorporates an AID interpreter for providing access to the AID. This is achieved by making a request to the AID interpreter to provide the AID for the application. In response, the AID interpreter retrieves a first component of the AID. This first component is logically internal to the AID interpreter. The AID interpreter also retrieves a second component of the AID. This second component is logically external to the AID interpreter and is indicative of a state relevant to the application, such as a current balance in the card. The first and second components of the AID are then combined in order to generate the AID for providing in response to the request.

Determining source of side-loaded software

A source of side-loaded software is determined. An action may be performed in response to the determination of the source. In one case, the handling of an application on a mobile device may be based on whether the source of the application is trusted or untrusted. If a software application being newly-installed on a mobile device of a user is determined to be untrusted, installation or execution is blocked. In one approach, the determination of the source includes: determining whether a first source identifier of a first application matches a white list of source identifiers or a black list of source identifiers; and sending the first source identifier and a first application identifier for the first application to a different computing device.
