A method for identifying an active administration function (ADMF) in a lawful interception deployment that utilizes an ADMF set comprising a plurality of ADMFs can be implemented by a network element. The method can include exchanging lawful interception signaling with a first ADMF when the first ADMF is the active ADMF. The method can also include receiving an auditing request message from one of the plurality of ADMFs in the ADMF set and sending a ping request message to each ADMF in the ADMF set. The method can also include receiving a ping response message from a second ADMF among the plurality of ADMFs in the ADMF set and identifying the second ADMF as the active ADMF in response to receiving the ping response message. The method can also include exchanging second lawful interception signaling with the second ADMF when the second ADMF is the active ADMF.

Identifying and removing a tracking capability from an external domain that performs a tracking activity on a host web page. Tracking capabilities of an external domain may be removed by altering web requests and/or responses to API calls. Once these tracking capabilities of the external domain have been removed, the altered web requests and/or altered responses to API calls may be transmitted to a web browser and/or entity making the API call thereby protecting user privacy while allowing the external domain to interact with the host web page.

The present disclosure provides a security mechanism to mitigate the risk of trackability of a UE engaged in groupcast communication. The security mechanism makes use of cryptographic functions and thus provides a cryptographic-grade protection for groupcast communications. The security mechanism can be implemented without any additional signaling for even additional parameters in existing signaling message.

A key master service capable of operating on a service provider in a network enables is disclosed. The key master enables authorized parties to securely exchange client information without compromising client security. One feature of the key master service is the generation of a unique key for each client. All parties in an authorized universe access, exchange and modify client information by referencing the universal key, rather than using known client identifiers. Client information is further secured by advantageously applying an obfuscation function to the data. Obfuscated client information is stored together with the universal key as keyed client data at the client and/or server, where it may be directly accessed by the service provider or third parties. Because client information is stored and exchanged without the ability to discern either the client identity or the nature of the information, such information is secured against malicious third-party interception.

A first request is received for a temporary alternate identifier for a user, wherein the user is identified within a service using a user service identifier, and wherein the temporary alternate identifier assists in transferring the user service identifier from the service to a resource. In response to the first request, the temporary alternate identifier is generated and associated with the user service identifier. The temporary alternate identifier is then provided the user, and the temporary alternate identifier is also provided by the user to the resource. A second request is received, from the resource, for an associated service identifier that is associated with the temporary alternate identifier. An indication is then provided, to the resource, that the user service identifier is the associated service identifier.

A computer system is provided that includes a storage system, at least one transceiver, and a processing system with at least one hardware processor. The storage system stores a first list pair. The transceiver receives electronic data messages that each include a respective data transaction request. The processing system determines how the new data transaction request should be processed based on which communication protocol was used to submit the request. Updates regarding the first list pair are sent out to non-party client computer systems using different communication protocols, where one is faster than the other, but the slower update includes private data therein.

The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementation for secure data management by a service provider. A request is first received for carrying out a transaction with a user and one or more data items associated with the user are then determined that need to be validated prior to the transaction. A request is then sent to the user seeking to validate the one or more data items. When a cloaked identifier is received from the user with information related to a trusted party, the cloaked identifier is then sent to the trusted party with a request for a validation response. When the validation response is received with an indication that the one or more data items are validated, the transaction with the user is carried out.

Various systems, computer-readable media, and computer-implemented methods of providing improved data privacy, anonymity and security by enabling subjects to which data pertains to remain “dynamically anonymous,” i.e., anonymous for as long as is desired—and to the extent that is desired—are disclosed herein. Embodiments include systems that create, access, use, store and/or erase data with increased privacy, anonymity, and security—thereby facilitating the availability of more qualified and accurate information. When personal data is authorized by data subjects to be shared with third parties, embodiments described herein may facilitate the sharing of information in a dynamically-controlled manner that also enables the delivery of temporally-, geographically-, and/or purpose-limited information to the receiving party. In one example, the disclosed techniques may be used to functionally separate geospatial information, such that it remains “dynamically anonymous,” i.e., anonymous for as long as is desired—and to the extent or degree that is desired.

Systems, methods and devices are provided for provisioning a computerized device. The system may include a distributor computer that is connected to the computerized device and is operable to receive a first digital asset and transmit it to the computerized device, and a server that is connected to the distributor computer, and that transmits the first digital asset to the distributor computer when a first authorizing condition is met, the first digital asset being configured to cause the computerized device to become partially provisioned, wherein the server transmits a second digital asset to the computerized device, and the computerized device is functional after the second digital asset is transmitted to the computerized device.
