A system and method for establishing a connection on a mobile computing device includes generating a secret on a trusted platform of the mobile computing device. The secret is transported to a subscriber identity module (SIM)/Smartcard on the mobile computing device. A secure local communication channel is established between the trusted platform and the SIM/Smartcard using the secret.

Using a trusted-platform-based shared-secret derivation and WWAN infrastructure-based enrollment to establish a secure local channel

A system and method for establishing a connection on a mobile computing device. A secret is generated on a trusted platform of the mobile computing device. The secret is transported to a secure channel application. The secure channel application establishes a trusted local communication channel between the trusted platform and a SIM (subscriber identity module)/Smartcard. The secret is received by the SIM/Smartcard. The secret, after being received by the SIM/Smartcard, is provided to a secure channel applet on the SIM/Smartcard. The secure channel applet establishes the trusted local communication channel between the SIM/Smartcard and the trusted platform, wherein the secret is shared by the trusted platform and the SIM/Smartcard.

A method and apparatus for intelligently bridging a first network and a second network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a protocol independent bridge device driver is bound to a first and a second network interface card device driver in order to access the first and the second network. Then the bridge device driver adaptively derives topology of the first and the second network based on network packets that it receives from the first and the second network. Lastly, the bridge device driver delivers the received network packets based on information contained in the received network packets and the derived topology.

An apparatus and method for platform and device independent identity manageability. In one embodiment, the method includes validation of a manageable identity (MID) held within trusted storage of a user platform according to a user request to move the MID to a target platform. Once the MID is validated, available resources of the target platform are verified according to resource requirements of the MID. Once verified, the MID may be moved from the user platform to trusted storage provided by the target platform. In one embodiment, a platform-independent MID may be established that may be moved from a user platform to a non-compatible target platform, such that the platform-independent MID is not constrained to just one single platform. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A transparent proxy. In a computer system, a layered service provider intercepts a communications request from a client application in the native protocol of the communications request wherein the communications request requests communication with a remote server. The service provider bundles and passes the communications request to a predetermined port. A transparent proxy application listening on the predetermined port receives the communications request in the native protocol of the request and establishes the requested communication.

Response time is improved by a method and apparatus for pre-fetching application data over a network. A request for application data, such as Internet data, is received. The request is transmitted to a transparent network proxy, which issues requests over a communications network to fetch the requested data. The requested application data are received by the proxy and forwarded to a client layered service provider, which supplies the data to the application. If additional application data is received by the proxy, that data is also forwarded to the client layered service provider, where it is stored as pre-fetch data. If additional application data is requested by the application, the additional data can be supplied from the stored pre-fetch data, if available.

In one embodiment of the invention, an access point for use in a powerline based network includes first physical layer circuitry to interface with a powerline and second physical layer circuitry to interface with an antenna. The access point also includes circuitry to interface between the first and second physical layer circuitry. The first and second physical layer circuitry and the circuitry to interface between the first and second physical layer circuitry allow an untethered electrical device to have data communication through the powerline with an electrical device tethered to the powerline. Under another embodiment of the invention, a powerline based network includes a powerline and an access point connected to the powerline and capable of wireless communication.

Apparatus to increase chance predictions of lottery numbers. Said apparatus comprised of random means for selecting lottery outcomes from among fields weighted proportional to statistical data to reflect past lottery outcomes. Rotary means with peripheral fields sized based on moving averages of past lottery or game outcomes. Means to initiate and randomly terminate rotary motion of these rotary means.
