Abstract: A method and system for securing an electronic communications session between a mobile device and a network server is provided. The method includes requesting, from the mobile device, a unique session identifier from an authentication server. The authentication server in turn requesting the session identifier from the network server on behalf of the mobile device and, upon receipt thereof, communicating it to the mobile device over a secure communication channel between the mobile device and the authentication server, established using a unique digital certificate on the mobile device which was previously issued to it by a trusted certification authority. The session identifier being useable by the mobile device and network server to secure, mutually validate and authenticate the electronic communication session between them conducted by means of a conventional electronic communications protocol.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel strain of Megasphaera elsdenii and its uses. This invention further relates to preparations and methods incorporating such strain. This invention also relates to feedstuffs for ruminants and a preparation and method for the prevention and treatment of lactic acidosis in ruminants. This invention even further relates to a method of isolating a biologically pure culture of a superior ruminal microorganism in a relatively shorter time period than conventional methods. This invention yet further relates to a method of achieving any one or more of the following improvements in ruminants namely increased milk production; improved feedlot performance; improved growth rate; decrease in finishing time; lower digestive morbidity and mortality; lower incidence of lactic acidosis and related diseases; improved feed conversion efficiency; decrease in roughage content in feeds; and capability to feed on relatively higher concentrate diets.
