Abstract:
An information processing system for offering a remote access from a device to a virtual service provided in a local network is provided. The virtual service invokes native services provisioned by a service provider. The system comprising: a management unit managing service information specifying a shortcut component of the service: an obtaining unit obtaining a request for the virtual service from the device; a receiving unit receiving the service information from the management unit; a specification unit specifying a shortcut component for the requested virtual service based on the received service information; an invoking unit executing the specified shortcut component by invoking native services to the service provider, and transferring the other component of the requested virtual service to the local network; a combination unit combining results; and a response unit responding the combined result to the device.
Abstract:
For control of access of personal information in accordance with a privacy policy defined for a service provider, a method is disclosed, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing service provider request data from a service provider to an end user device, the service provider request data being indicative of personal information of a user of the end user device to be accessed by the service provider, providing to the service provider first user data including at least one of personal information of the user as requested by the service provider or rejections of personal information requested by the service provider, creating privacy receipt data including the first user data and data being indicative of the service provider, and providing the privacy receipt data to the end user device.

Abstract:
A universal authentication mechanism for authenticating a user to a service provider (SP) is disclosed. An application device (ApD) requests a service for the user from the service provider (SP) and performs a transmission of a user identity (S10) identifying the user to the service provider (SP). The service provider sends a request for confirmation of the user identity (S20) to an authentication server (AS). The request comprises the user identity and a service identity identifying the requested service. The authentication server (AS) sends a request for service authentication (S50) to the authentication device (AuD) for confirmation. Based on the result of an analysis (S80) of a service authentication confirmation (S60) received from the authentication device (AuD), the authentication server (AS) sends a confirmation of the user identity (S90) confirming the identity of the user to the service provider (SP), which grants service access (S100).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a new and useful method for transferring data within a telecommunications network as well as to a mobile terminal capable of engaging to the network and of carrying out the steps of the method, which advantageously may be applied where, e.g., the data transfer from or to an application running on the mobile terminal originally required two or more independent communications, according to a transport protocol, e.g., TCP connections, to the telecommunications network and where in order to enhance the efficiency of the communication the mobile terminal combines independent communication connections originally required by the application to a single communication connection.
Abstract:
The invention relates to method and device for improving the link configuration speed of high-latency links, such as circuit switched links or satellite links, that use chatty protocols, which require sequential configuration phases, such as standard PPP in accordance with RfC 1661. In the initial link configuration phase, a standard LCP packet is sent out, followed by at least one masked packet that will be discarded silently by a peer operating in accordance with the standard protocol, but whose contents will be processed by a peer operating in accordance with the invention. The initial standard LCP packet produces compatibility with the standard protocol, whereas the sending of masked packets containing configuration information (PAP, CHAP, ICPC, etc.) allows two peers operating in accordance with the invention to accomplish the configuration phases in parallel, such that a link can be configured and ready to transmit network level packets, such as IP packets, much more quickly than with the standard protocol, such as PPP.
Abstract:
The invention comprises a method and system for dynamically processing messages. After a message is received from a network or from an internal application, and the message type is identified, the invention determines whether an optimized handler should be used to process messages of the identified message type. If an optimized handler has not previously been generated for the identified message type or is otherwise not available, an optimized handler may be generated, during run-time, for subsequent processing of messages of the identified message type. In some embodiments, the invention maintains statistics relating the processing characteristics of different types of messages and these statistics are used to determine whether to generate an optimized handler or to use a generic handler to process subsequently received messages having a certain identified message type.
