  • Publication number: 20150281344
    Abstract: A method and system for enabling peer-to-peer (P2P) communication between a first device and a second device is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a P2P communication system includes a first peer agent serving a first peer, a second peer agent serving a second peer, and a rendezvous server. The rendezvous server updates a first IP address for the first peer agent to the second peer agent and a second IP address for the second peer agent to the first peer agent. The first peer agent and the second peer agent communicate with the rendezvous server by dropping and retrieving a plurality of dead-drop packages. A first dead-drop package of the plurality of dead-drop packages comprises a first alias that is known only to the first peer and the second peer. A second dead-drop package of the plurality of dead-drop packages comprises a second alias that is different from the first alias.

  • Publication number: 20150245249
    Abstract: A data replication system of a communication network is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the data replication system includes a replication gateway node and a replication control system. The replication gateway node is configured to create a first replication tunnel between a first gateway node and the replication gateway node and a second replication tunnel between the replication gateway node and a second gateway node. The replication gateway node replicates data streams between the first gateway node and the second gateway and delivers the replicated data stream to a management node for further analysis.

  • Publication number: 20150229617
    Abstract: A system and method for metadata analysis and collection with privacy is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a trusted third party (TTP) system generates and transmits authorization keys to a government agency (GA) system and a communication service provider (CSP) system. The TTP system receives index records referencing records of subscribers from the CSP system and ingests the index records received from the CSP system. The TTP system receives a target index request from the GA system and sends a metadata record request to the CSP system based on the target index request. The CSP system sends metadata records to the TTP system, and the TTP system delivers the metadata records to the GA system. The metadata records are encrypted with encryption keys shared between the GA system and the CSP system such that the TTP system cannot decrypt the metadata records.
