Protecting usage of key store content at a given user device of an end user includes receiving the key store content at the given user device. The key store content includes key materials encrypted using encryption credentials compatible with the given user device. The key store content is in a format compatible with the given user device. The encrypted key materials of the key store content are imported to a protected key store of the given user device, wherein all the key materials of the key store content are imported at one go. The key materials are stored at the protected key store in the encrypted form, and are non-exportable from the key store. Internally within the protected key store, one or more key store integrated services of the given user device are allowed to access the non-exportable key materials for use, via key references only.

Protecting usage of key store content

A data communication system for a local network. The system includes a network node and a plurality of network devices associated therewith. The network node provides a network node service to clients or bots executing on the plurality of network devices. Individual clients or bots are communicably and only programmatically coupled around the network node service in a programmatic star configuration to create the local network. The network node service validates and authenticates local services provided by the clients or bots within the local network. Data is communicated between clients or bots within the local network in real time or near real time, by relaying the data through the network node service. Information content of the data is encrypted prior to communicating the data, by employing a key store associated with a user of the source client or bot.

Data communication system and method

A system for creating one or more group networks between network devices belonging to one or more local networks. Group network devices, dynamically installed at the local networks, are employed to discover network devices connected to their corresponding local networks. Information indicative of a plurality of network devices discovered by the group network devices or selected by a user from amongst the discovered network devices for creation of a group network is received. The plurality of network devices are assigned to the group network, and defined as members of the group network. The group network devices are employed to automatically perform network configurations for the plurality of network devices, regardless of whether the members of the group network are connected to a same physical local network or to different geographically-separated physical local networks. The group network so created enables the members of the group network to communicate and interoperate with each other in their native protocols. The given group network supports different types of transmission paths and/or different transmission protocols defined by the transmission paths.

System and method for creating group networks between network devices

A system for communicating data from a source device to a destination device where the source device has no direct access or has only restricted access to any data communication network. The system includes a network device that is to be coupled in communication with the source device, thereby enabling the source device to transfer to the network device the data to be communicated. The system also includes a network node configured to provide a network node service to a source client executing on the network device and to a destination client associated with the destination device. The network device is to be coupled in communication with the network node via a data communication network. The source client is configured to communicate the data to the destination device, by relaying the data through the network node service, when the destination client is connected to the network node service.
