Presented herein are methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and devices for providing and managing a Top-Level Domain that uniquely identifies an object or a role The method may comprise linking the domain name with an object (e.g., an artwork) by adding approximately eight additional fields to the domain name “Whois” record. “Whatis” (the combination of existing “Whois” and a number of additional fields) directly links the domain name, the registrant, and an (art) object. Any or all of the additional fields can be employed in many varieties of ways as a link and identification with objects or roles, transferring with the ownership of an object or, say, title or position of a role.

The invention relates, in particular, to a method for registering at least one public address in an IMS network including a terminal that interacts with a security element. According to the invention, the security element includes an application that invites the user of the terminal, upon the occurrence of an event, to enter a public address, selected by the user, via the man/machine interface of the terminal, the application transmitting the public address, accompanied by at least one identifier of the security element, to a remote network via the terminal such that the remote network associates the public address with the identifier.

Systems and methods for managing domain name registrations in accordance with rules and regulations of a domain name verification system are disclosed. The disclosed technology enables a domain name verification system to regulate the registration of domain names in accordance with its own domain name registration policies. This disclosed system uses a “whitelist” domain name registry to register “whitelist domain names” once pre-approval to register a corresponding target domain name has been granted. In this manner, the whitelist domain name registry system acts as a repository for pre-approved domain name registrations and enables pre-qualified registrants (including potential or prospective registrants) to then register a target domain name.

A content provider has a plurality of content provider domain names, and a content delivery network (CDN) allocates a plurality of CDN domain names to the particular content provider. The content provider domain names are mapped to the CDN domain names. CDN domain names are bound to corresponding CDN clusters. The binding of the of CDN domain names to corresponding CDN clusters is modified.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for simulating a network. Interrogations directed to hosts in the simulated network may be received. For some interrogations, data objects may be instantiated to simulate the interrogated hosts by, e.g., providing responses to low-level network commands. One or more characteristics of a simulated host may be determined randomly or pseudo-randomly.

A system for allocating domain name acquisition resources is provided. The system performs a method comprising: obtaining, at a database, a list of domain names that are to be deleted during a first time window; updating a drop catch table in the database, wherein the drop catch table comprises a second list of domain names that are to be deleted; refreshing a cache in an application server that provides DNS services based on the drop catch table; obtaining, at the application server, a EPP command from a registrar to register a domain name from the drop catch table that is about to be deleted during a second time window; determining, based on the cache, that the domain name to be registered is available to be registered; updating a flag for the domain name in the cache indicating that the domain name is registered; and providing an acknowledgment to the registrar.

The disclosure is related to managing a resource change in a machine to machine (M2M) network. Managing the resource change in M2M network by creating an abstract M2M entity object associated with a resource change, and creating an M2M entity object instance by embodying the abstract M2M entity object according to each application development environment.

Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of network device name management involves at a cloud server, determining a device name of a network device to be deployed at a customer site based on site survey result information of the customer site, at the cloud server, receiving network device information of the network device after the network device is deployed at the customer site, and at the cloud server, associating the device name of the network device with the network device information of the network device.
