Abstract: Provided herein are methods and systems for improved domain name system (DNS) security. A computing device of a DNS, such as a recursive DNS server, may cache previously processed (e.g., resolved) DNS requests. The DNS cache may be a target for cache poisoning and other cache manipulation attacks. The methods and systems described herein may employ artificial intelligence, machine learning, and/or pattern recognition techniques to provide improved security for the DNS cache.

Abstract: A system, device and method to securely notify a user of a compromise of a device are provided. The system, device and method may include a detection device adapted for determining a compromise of the device communicatively coupled to the first path, a user database including at least information regarding the device and other devices associated with the user, and the secure signal path to at least one of the other devices.

Abstract: A shared channel used to communicate between a cable modem termination system and multiple cable modems is managed to prevent and/or reduce the impact of congestion. If the average channel utilization is above a near-congestion threshold, a cable modem in an extended high consumption state is assigned a reduced data transmission priority for managed traffic. Priority for that cable modem is restored to a default preferred level when the channel usage by that cable modem drops below a predetermined level or when the average aggregate channel utilization by all cable modems drops below the near-congestion threshold.

Abstract: A communication method and system for leaving voicemail and videomail messages for an instant messaging user through the use of an instant messaging system having at least one instant messaging client. The method includes configuring the at least one instant messaging client to receive instant messages containing audio and/or video content. Another step includes generating an instant message containing audio and/or video content for the at least one instant messaging client through the use of the instant messaging system. The method also includes receiving the instant message at a message storage and retrieval system, wherein the message storage and retrieval system is adapted to store instant messages having audio and/or video content. The method further includes storing the instant message at the message storage and retrieval system, wherein the at least one instant messaging client is operable with the message storage and retrieval system for retrieval of the stored instant message.

Abstract: A communication system and methodology enables a user to receive a message waiting indication in the form of an instant message or a real simple syndication (RSS) formatted message when messages are available for retrieval. The communication system includes a message storage and retrieval system. An instant messaging system having at least one instant messaging client and a RSS system having an RSS client which communicate with the message storage and retrieval system. The instant messaging and RSS system are operable with the message storage and retrieval system to generate a message waiting indication for the user in the form of an instant message or a RSS formatted message.

Abstract: A method and system of providing caller ID messaging. The caller ID messaging being of the type used to alert subscribers of incoming phone calls, such as through displays, audio alerts, or other features.

Abstract: A method and system for locating a device connected to a network by determining a current network address for the device and comparing the current network address to a network address in a user profile. If the network addresses match, the device is located based on a physical address associated with the network address in the user profile.
