An approach is provided for determining device compatibility using alerts and information spaces. A link redirector receives a request from a device for a required type of service. The link redirector alerts the device compatibility service and the export control interface about the potential request or stores the request information in an information space while searching for a suitable service for the device. Therefore, the device compatibility service and the export control interface can start preparing information about device compatibility and export control before the information is requested by the service determined.

Method and apparatus for providing device compatibility information

An approach is provided for personal asset management. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a determination of one or more devices to be part of one or more groups. The approach further involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of a determination of one or more datasets to be stored on the one or more devices. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, the one or more datasets to be synchronized among the one or more devices that are part of the one or more groups. The approach additionally involves causing, at least in part, a cryptographic connection between the one or more devices to be established.

An approach is provided for providing secure signing and utilization of distributed computations. A distributed computation authentication platform causes, at least in part, a signing of one or more computation closures of at least one functional flow. The distributed computation authentication platform also processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more signed computation closures to cause, at least in part, a transfer of the one or more signed computation closures among one or more levels, one or more nodes, or a combination thereof, wherein an execution of the one or more signed computation closures at the one or more levels, the one or more nodes, or a combination thereof is based, at least in part, on an authentication of the signed one or more computation closure.

Method and apparatus for secure signing and utilization of distributed computations

An approach is provided for determining performance of location-based displays. The coincidences computational platform may process and/or facilitate a processing of at least one data stream associated with at least one device to cause, at least in part, an extraction of one or more data sets. Then, the content platform may determine one or more arbitrary events data sets from among the one or more data sets based, at least in part, on a coincident occurrence of casual and non-causal events of the one or more arbitrary events data sets with at least on location-based display. Lastly, the content platform may determine one or more information placement parameters for the at least one location-based display based, at least in part, on the one or more arbitrary events data sets.

An approach is provided for providing identity based encryption in distributed computations. An identity based encryption platform causes, at least in part, a segmentation of a computation closure into at least a first part and one or more second parts. The identity based encryption platform also causes, at least in part, an encryption of the one or more second parts using the first part as a public key of an identity-based encryption.

Method and apparatus for providing identity based encryption in distributed computations

A method comprises selecting at least a first data set and a second data set on which to apply a query. The method also comprises causing generating of a first cursor based and a second cursor based on a first application of the query on the first data set and a second cursor based on a second application of the query on the second data set. A third cursor based on a combination of a result set returned by the first cursor and second cursor is then generated in response to the query.

Method and apparatus for supporting distributed deductive closures using multidimensional result cursors

An approach is provided for providing intent-based monitoring using sensory information. The monitoring platform determines to detect, at a device, sensory information from an environment, the environment relating to a user of the device, one or more other users, or a combination thereof. Next, the monitoring platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the sensory information to determine intent information associated with the user, the one or more other users, or a combination thereof.

Method and apparatus for providing intent-based monitoring using sensory information

A system for cryptographically authenticated communication, wherein an activation signal is sent from a communications device to a memory device (). The memory device derives a random challenge from at least one physical property of the activation signal and sends it back to the communications device (). A signature is computed using the received random challenge () and sent, together with a certificate, to the memory device ().

An approach is provided for providing alternative route recommendations for a group of nearby users in a privacy preserving manner. A recommendation platform determines at least one group of one or more users within proximity of at least one location-based service, at least one location-based event, or a combination thereof. A recommendation platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more datasets associated with the group to cause, at least in part, a determination of whether to recommend the at least one location-based service, the at least one location-based event, or a combination thereof to the group. A recommendation platform causes, at least in part, a presentation of the at least one location-based service, the at least one location-based event, or a combination thereof to the group, the one or more users, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the determination of whether to recommend.
