A method and system for revenue sharing between mobile operators and content providers. The content providers, through a data network, provide data services to the end users of the mobile operators. For the data services, the content providers are paid by the mobile operators based on the revenue collected by the mobile operators from the end users using the services. An intermediate proxy is disposed between a mobile operator and the data network to keep track of the data amount transmitted by the content providers and the users and to keep track of the revenue sharing agreements established between that mobile operator and the content providers. Additionally, an intermediate proxy is linked to each content provider to keep track of the data amount transmitted to the end users via a mobile operator and to keep track of the revenue sharing agreement with that mobile operator.

A method and system for preventing address resolution protocol (ARP) cache poisoning in a network system with multiple hosts. Multiple hosts representing and / or located in separate local area networks (LANS) are tapped (via a shared agreement) to utilize a trusted ARP cache for each LAN represented. Whenever a new ARP response is detected in one network, a request for validation is sent to a separate host in a different network. The separate host initiates a verification process for the ARP, which involves checking whether duplication of one of the IP address or MAC address of the ARP response exists within the address pairings in the ARP cache. If the ARP response is not validated, then the trusted ARP cache is not updated and the system administrator is notified of the failed attempt.

Described is a proactive digital currency (PDC) system and method. In an embodiment, the PDC system operates using a plurality of ledger servers. Thereafter, the user can use a secret sharing protocol to transfer coins amongst users of the PDC system. In doing so, the system receives, at the plurality of collectively operated ledger servers, a first address of the first user, a second address of the second user, and a secret share of each bit in a binary representation of the transaction value. The secret share conceals the transaction amount. The ledger servers verify that the transaction value will not overdraw a balance ledger associated with the first address of the first user. The transaction value and a transaction fee are subtracted from the first address of the first user, with the transaction value being added to the second address of the second user.

According to a disclosed method, an MME in a network analyzes KPIs from the cells it serves and based on the KPIs, it decides to engage in sharing. The MME then contacts a sharing entity (SE) to announce that it wants to borrow or to supply resources. The MME obtains terms of a sharing agreement from the SE and the MME obtains the identity of the other network. In response to this information, the MME configures its network elements to share. The MME's own network may be a supplier or a borrower. If the network is a supplier, the MME configures its base stations to support UEs subscribing to the other network. If the network is a borrower, the MME configures its UEs to accept service from the other network's base stations. The SE applies knowledge of network topology and of services offered. This knowledge is obtained from a sharing database. At the expiration of the sharing agreement, the SE tells the MMEs to deactivate the sharing agreement.

The invention discloses a method of sharing data among corporation mobile applications. IT administrators of corporations can use a mobile data seal cloud console to define a data sharing protocol. The protocol can be realized on mobile terminals through a mobile data seal service API (Application Program Interface). When an app1 obtains data through the mobile data seal service interface from a server side of the corporation mobile applications, the mobile data seal service sends the data's ID to the IT cloud console. When an app2 is to access the data, the API corresponding to the mobile data seal service needs be invoked and the data's sharing protocol is checked to determine whether the app2 has a corresponding write and read authority over the data. When the app1 transmits data back to the corporation's server, mobile data seal service synchronously updates mobile terminals and IT cloud console's record of data sharing agreement. The method enables the mobile applications to be transparent, and achieves intensive management for the IT departments of corporations and safe and reliable data sharing.
