Abstract
A method and system for enabling data usage accounting are described herein. As an example, the method can be practiced on a computing device that has secure applications and unsecure applications installed thereon. Initially, a request for a data session can be received through a secure application. The request for the data session can be intercepted, and the request for the data session can be modified to cause the request to be re-directed back to the secure application. In addition, a connection can be initiated to enable retrieval of data in response to the request and to enable an accounting of the data session. In one arrangement, this process of modifying the request for a data session may be restricted to secure applications such that data usage of the secure applications is tabulated separately from data usage associated with the unsecure applications.
