    Abstract: In a connection arrangement including two or more electronic devices, wherein information can be exchanged among the electronic devices through a plurality of communication links between the electronic devices, at least one of the electronic devices being configurable for communicating with a data source, a method for presenting a multi-channel message originating from the data source, the multi-channel message including a two or more components, includes the steps of allocating each of at least a portion of the components in the multi-channel message to at least one electronic device and, for each allocated component, determining possible communication paths between the data source and the at least one electronic device allocated to the corresponding component. The method further includes the steps of selecting, based at least in part on one or more selection criteria, at least one of the possible communication paths for the allocated components, each of the selected communication paths representing an optimal route between the data source and the at least one electronic device allocated to the corresponding component, and routing each of the allocated components in the multi-channel message according to the selected communication paths for presentation of the allocated components by the corresponding electronic device(s).

    Abstract: In a communications system, a method is described allowing two users having established a communication session identified by a unique session freshness proof, to transmit and validate a new value of a variable by using an exchange certificate which combines the following elements : the new value of the variable, a common secret key known by both users, an exchange counter representative of the number of values of said variable transmitted between the two users during the current communication session and a session freshness proof. Protection against potential eavesdroppers and intruders is provided by combining cryptographically the elements of the exchange certificate. Further protection is obtained by interrupting the current communication session and opening a new one characterized by a new unique session freshness proof when the exchange counter reaches its maximum value; thus avoiding the risk that the same value of the session freshness keeps being used when the exchange counter is reset to its initial value. Consequently a given pair of values of the session freshness proof and of the exchange counter will never be used more than one time, making eavesdropping and, replaying attacks from intruders more difficult. Preferably, the method used for opening a new communication session uses already known authentication methods based on the common secret key.

    Abstract: A virtual workspace is provided for a user with a number of electronic devices, in which information can be exchanged among the electronic devices through a number of connections between the electronic devices. The virtual workspace is provided by determining where services are located and the type of the services, determining one or more data formats associated with data accessible by one or more of the electronic devices. A portion of the data has a given one of one or more data formats. An electronic device is selected based at least in part on predetermined criteria and the given data format. A route through the connections to the selected electronic device is determined, where the route may comprise a given one or more of the connections. At least the portion of the data associated with the given data format is routed to the selected electronic device. The portion of the data is utilizable for presentation by the selected electronic device when received by the selected electronic device.
