TL;DR: In this paper, a method for providing a telecommunications service between a first peer element connected to the telecommunications network environment and a second peer element connecting to the telecommunication network is presented.
Abstract: In a telecommunications network environment including non-participating elements and participating elements, a method for providing a telecommunications service between a first peer element connected to the telecommunications network environment and a second peer element connected to the telecommunications network. At a first peer element, an indication of the type of telecommunications service to be provided between the first peer element and the second peer element is received. A telecommunications service template in association with the indicated telecommunications service is determined, the telecommunications service template including instructions for configuring the non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment to provide the indicated telecommunications service and instructions for configuring the participating elements of the telecommunications network environment. The telecommunications service template may further comprise routing instructions for the non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment and routing instructions for the participating elements of the telecommunications network environment. The instructions to configure the participating elements and non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment are executed to provide the telecommunications service. Data between the first peer element and the second peer element is transmitted via a predefined transmission protocol indicated by the telecommunications service template, the data including the routing instructions for the non-participating elements of the telecommunications network environment in a header portion of the predefined transmission protocol and the routing instructions for the participating elements of the telecommunications network environment in a payload portion of the predefined transmission protocol.
TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-implemented method for providing network access control in virtual environments is described, which may include injecting a transient security agent into a virtual machine that is running on a host machine.
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing network access control in virtual environments The method may include: 1) injecting a transient security agent into a virtual machine that is running on a host machine; 2) receiving, from the transient security agent, an indication of whether the virtual machine complies with one or more network access control policies; and 3) controlling network access of the virtual machine based on the indication of whether the virtual machine complies with the one or more network access control policies Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed herein
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system for managing and controlling a plurality of different types of telecommunications equipment provided by various different manufacturers to seamlessly integrate the equipment into an easily managed telecommunications system.
Abstract: A telecommunications system installation and management system (10) and method for managing, controlling, updating and monitoring telecommunications devices, such as a private branch telephone switch (22, 23), voice messaging system (26), call accounting system (24), central office telephone switch, router, bridge, hub, or associated peripheral equipment. The device is capable of managing and controlling a plurality of different types of telecommunications equipment provided by various different manufacturers to thereby seamlessly integrate the equipment into an easily managed telecommunications system. A local database within the telecommunications system provides for real-time or near real-time access and modification of programming information for the telecommunications equipment and further provides for redundancy in the event of equipment failure. A single point of control for system management and data entry is provided in an integrated application that reduces the amount of necessary data to be entered and that facilitates user modifications to operating parameters. The system preferably actively maintains a live connection with each of the managed devices.
TL;DR: An electronic funds transfer system (EFT) is described in which retail terminals located in stores are connected through a public switched telecommunication system to card issuing agencies data processing centers and users are issued with intelligent secure bank cards.
Abstract: Components of previous security systems were designed independently from one another and were often difficult to integrate. Described is the recently available IBM Transaction Security System. It implements the Common Cryptographic Architecture and offers a comprehensive set of security products that allow users to implement end-to-end secure systems with IBM components. The system includes a mainframe host-attached Network Security Processor, high-performance encryption adapters for the IBM Personal Computer and Personal System/2® Micro Channel®, an RS-232 attached Security Interface Unit, and a credit-card size state-of-the-art Personal Security™ card containing a high-performance microprocessor. The application programming interface provides common programming in the host and the workstation and supports all of the Systems Application Architecture™ languages except REXX and RPG. Applications may be written to run on Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) and PC DOS operating systems.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for bridging user authentication, authorization, and access between web-based and telecom domains by issuing an access token associated with a user identifier subscribed to a telecommunications network.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for bridging user authentication, authorization, and access between web-based and telecom domains are disclosed. In one example, a method includes issuing, to an application hosted in a web-based network, an access token associated with a user identifier subscribed to a telecommunications network, wherein the access token is issued in response to receiving telecommunications network credentials from a client device associated with the user identifier and receiving, at an over the top (OTT) proxy element in the telecommunications network from the application, the access token for requesting user data associated with the client device to be used to access the application. The method further includes retrieving the user data if the access token is valid a telecommunications network context condition is met and providing the user data to the application, wherein access to the application by the client device is based on the user data.
