Abstract: An approach is provided for service provider controlled communication security. A security platform receives a connection request from a client device. The security platform determines context information associated with the device, access network, a user of the device, or a combination thereof, and then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the context information to determine one or more encryption ciphers to offer for the session. Next, the security platform causes, at least in part, establishment of the connection request using, at least in part, the one of the offered encryption ciphers.

Abstract: An approach is provided for optimizing energy consumption for wireless always-on connections. A radio management module buffers non-real time data and schedules the transmission of the non-real time data by a wireless device. The module also determines a communication type for carrying the non-real time data and initiates transmission of the non-real time data based on the schedule and the determined communication type.

Abstract: Augmenting media based on proximity detection involves detecting proximate devices of participants of an event via a wireless proximity device. User media associated with the participants is obtaining based on the proximity detection and further based on contact data associated with the participants. Event media that records an aspect of the event is obtained the event media is combined with the user media to form augmented media, wherein the augmented media simulates the participant's presence in the event media.

Abstract: An approach is presented for facilitating communications for browser-based applications. A data communication platform determines to associate a communication identifier with a browser session. The browser session hosts, at least in part, a web application. The communication identifier facilitates addressing of the browser session, the web application, or a combination thereof via a process that is not specific to the browser session, the web application, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining an optimal keep-alive time period. A request is received from a probe platform for measuring one or more probe values that relate to a keep-alive timer value associated with a network. The device receiving the request then determines to measure whether the one or more probe values comprise one or more successful probe values, one or more unsuccessful probe values, or a combination thereof. The keep-alive timer is then determined based, at least in part, on a statistical analysis of the one or more probe values.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining an optimal keep-alive time period. A request is received from one of a plurality of user equipments for a keep-alive timer value. A specific network information related to a network serving the one user equipment is determined. A keep-alive timer value is determined based on the network information and advantageously using statistical analysis.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus comprises at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory includes computer program code. Further, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following associate an organization with a user and update a contact associated with the organization based at least in part on a contact change made by the organization. Further, the apparatus comprise a user interface configured to display the contact to the user based at least in part on at least one of the following: geographic location of the user or the updated contact.
