Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing nodes, such as data structures and devices, with access to a network is disclosed, and a corresponding network architecture. At least one core network access provider controls real time access to the network across the layers of a protocol stack for the network, and sequentially assigns a network communication address to the or each access-requesting node. The assigned network address is encoded with a unique parameter of the node and a unique parameter of the node user, in a sequential identifier ledger which is distributed in real time to all of the network-connected nodes. Each node processes the ledger to verify its sequential integrity and, upon determining a sequential integrity loss, the ledger record causing the loss is identified and an alert comprising the identified record is broadcast to the nodes across the network.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed in a network for controlling data signalling therein. A core network includes at least a first node storing a contents parameters database. A sub-network operably interfaced with the core network includes at least a network transaction processing node. The first node and the network transaction processing node are each adapted to authenticate all users of data processing terminals connected to the network for access to the network or predetermined parts of the network and to monitor respective network signals of same for contents data encoded therein. An information exchange server is also operably interfaced with the sub-network and stores a registration and communication database having respective unique identifier(s) of each of the one or more network users recorded therein.

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating a user that requests access to services of a computer network, including using a unique communication address for authentication and identification. One of the methods includes globally assigning unique communication addresses to users and devices, the devices being uniquely associated with respective users. Unique communication addresses associate with the users are used for authenticating and identifying the users. A login function is used through the devices, the devices each being mapped to a unique communication address using a hardware identity configured for sending and receiving information over a network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a network based gaming platform or game application. A gaming cycle for a first user and one or more opponent players can be carried out on the network based gaming platform or game application. A database can store player data from the first user and the one or more opponent players, and the player data can be sorted and ranked. Players can be matched based on the player data, and a game type can be selected. A betting option and a stake can be chosen, and the first user can be debited for the chosen stake. The selected game type can be started, and game winnings can be transferred to a winner.
