A method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting timing parameters in a wireless data network is disclosed. A server system receives a set of timing statistics that may include a set of timing statistics measured by a wireless client and a set of timing statistics measured by a server device that services the wireless client. The timing statistics reflect the performance of the wireless network. Using the timing statistics and other timing related information such as the type of the wireless networks, the sever device determines a new set of timing parameters to be used by itself and the wireless client device or other client devices. Besides other functional values having impact on the performance of the wireless data network, the timing parameters include an ordered set of numbers that represents a back-off curve for message retransmission. The server device then transmits the new timing parameters respectively to one or more wireless client devices. After receiving the new set of timing parameters, a wireless client device may directly use the timing parameters or further process or readjust the timing parameters using local information so as to derive a set of locally optimized timing parameters for the wireless client device. This practically allows the server to dynamically control the timing and performance behaviors of all the mobile devices it communicate to an optimal degree with minimal efforts.

The present invention has particular applications to the navigation of Internet web pages using two-way interactive communication devices, such as a mobile device, a mobile phone, a landline telephone, and an Internet capable remote controller. According to one aspect of the present invention, each of the two-way interactive communication devices is a node in a distributed network, thus the devices can access hypermedia or hierarchic layers of information stored in server devices on the network. When one or more pages of information are updated, rather than sending the entire updated information to users of the devices subscribing to the updated information through the network, the present invention sends a notification to a proxy server that forwards the notification to the users using a messaging system via a low cost narrowband channel. Upon receiving the notification, the users can fetch the updates, when needed, through a wideband channel. Hence systemic solutions are provided in the present invention to integrate wideband and narrowband channels so as to keep the users informed of any updates to their desired information and meanwhile provide efficient means to the users for retrieving the latest updates without incurring uncontrollable costs and increasing unnecessary network traffics.

A credential caching proxy server that handles credential caching for a set of wireless client devices is disclosed. The credential caching proxy server handles most credential transactions for wireless client devices that wish to access resources within a protected realm where the protected realm requires credentials. In one embodiment, the credential caching proxy server intercepts and caches a wireless client's credentials when a credential is first sent from the wireless user agent to a protected server. The cached credential will then be used for all requests to resources within the same protected realm. Thus, after first sending a first credential for accessing the resource in a particular realm, the wireless user agent does not need to attach the credential for all the subsequent requests for any other resources belong to the same realm. In an alternate embodiment, the proxy server sends a special request to the wireless client device requesting a credential for a particular resource. The special request may take the form of a simple preformatted display page such that a &ldquo;dumb terminal&rdquo; wireless client device can be used to communicate with protected Internet resources even though the &ldquo;dumb&rdquo; wireless client device has no concept of authentication and authorization.

The present invention is a method and system for establishing an authenticated and secure communication session for transactions between a server and a client in a wireless data network that generally comprises an airnet, a landline network and a link server therebetween. The client having limited computing resources is remotely located with respect to the server and communicates to the server through the wireless data network. To authenticate each other, the client and the server conduct two rounds of authentication, the client authentication and the server authentication, independently and respectively, each of the authentication processes is based on a shared secret encrypt key and challenge/response mechanism. To reach for a mutually accepted cipher in the subsequent transactions, the server looks up for a commonly used cipher and forwards the cipher along with a session key to the client. The subsequent transactions between the client and the server are then proceeded in the authenticated and secure communication session and further each transaction secured by the session key is labeled by a transaction ID that is examined before a transaction thereof takes place.

Techniques for ensuring secure access to local service of mobile devices of a wireless communication system are disclosed. The techniques control access to local services of mobile devices such that only authorized services are able to remotely alter the local services of the mobile devices. Before permitting access to local services of a mobile device, the identity of the network site seeking to have access is checked to determine whether the network site is authorized for such access. If the network site is authorized, then access is permitted and the network site is able to modify or alter the local services of the mobile device. On the other hand, when the network site is not authorized, then the network site is denied access to the local service so that the local services provided by the network site are not open to attack or corruption from unscrupulous network sites.

Method and apparatus for providing access control to local services of mobile devices

A crypto-ignition process is needed to establish an encrypted communication protocol between two devices connected by an insecure communication link. The present invention introduces a method of creating an identical secret key to two communicating parties is conducted between a thin device and a server computer over an insecure data network. The thin device generally has limited computing power and working memory and the server computer may communicate with a plurality of such thin devices. To ensure the security of the secret key on both sides and reduce traffic in the network, only a pair of public values is exchanged between the thin device and the server computer over the data network. Each side generates its own secret key from a self-generated private value along with the received counterpart's public value according to a commonly used key agreement protocol, such as the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol. To ensure that the generated secret keys are identical on both sides, a verification process is followed by exchanging a message encrypted by one of two generated secret keys. The secret keys are proved to be identical and secret when the encrypted message is successfully decrypted by the other secret key. To reduce network traffic, the verification process is piggybacked with a session request from the thin device to establish a secure and authentic communication session with the server computer. The present invention enables the automatic delivery of the secret keys, without requiring significant computing power and working memory, between each of the thin clients respectively with the server computer.

Improved techniques for providing reference numbers for purposes of fragmenting a message for transmission over a network (e.g., a wireless data network) that supports only a limited size message are disclosed. The reference numbers for the fragmented messages are shared by groups of destinations (e.g., subscribers or mobile devices). As a result, the number of reference numbers to be stored is small compared to the number of possible destinations, and the size of the reference numbers themselves is also kept small. The number of groupings and the size of the reference numbers can also be adjusted to fit system objectives.
