The method also includes: recording, at the first relay, subscription information of the first client based on the subscription request; receiving, at the first relay, a publication request from a second client, wherein the publication request includes a message string characterized by a pattern; determining, by the first relay, that the target matches at least a portion of the pattern; determining, by the first relay, if the publication request is a local publication request based on a predetermined policy rule; and transmitting the message string to the first client if the publication request is determined to be a local publication request.

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating an application (client) to a server or service. During a registration phase, an application that requests access to a service can receive a service identifier, which it can authenticate. The application can generate and send to the server or service an application-service key that is based upon the authenticated service identifier and a secret application key; a service-application identifier that can be based upon the authenticated service identifier and an application identifier; and a registration nonce, all of which can be stored at the server. During the authentication phase, the client can send to the server the application-service identifier, which the server can use to lookup the stored registration data. The server can send the registration nonce to the client, which can compute a proof of possession of the service-application key and send to the server. The server can compute its own version of this key and compare it to the received key.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and products for high performance implementation of traffic management rules. In various embodiments, traffic management rules, such as DNS traffic management rules, are functionally expressed as rows in one or more lookup tables that are deployed to DNS resolution servers. The DNS resolution server uses the domain name, resource record type, traffic management rule types, and/or traffic management variable values to search for or look up an answer, from among multiple answers corresponding to the domain name and resource record type that meets the traffic management criteria. This look up is done without executing conventional traffic management code or scripts.
