Abstract: A method of filesystem-based communication of computer applications is provided. The method implemented using a filesystem communications interface (FCI) computer device coupled to a first computer and a second computer on which computer applications are installed. The method includes mounting file systems on the first computer and second computer by installing communications interface drivers, receiving a data transfer command that includes a data unit from the first computer, identifying that the data transfer command corresponds to a filesystem-based data transfer protocol, generating another data transfer command by converting the first data transfer command into a first network-based data transfer protocol, receiving the data unit from the first computer, and transmitting, using the second communications interface driver, the data unit to the second computer application by the using a third data transfer command.

Abstract: According to a first aspect, there is provided an offer-and-acceptance matching server comprising: at least one processor; at least one memory including computer program code; and a communication port coupled to the processor the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the offer-and-acceptance matching server at least to: receive, through the communication port, a query to determine deals for fund offer, fund acceptance, or both, available within a provided distance; interrogate a database to determine one or more fund offer deals, one or more fund acceptance deals, or both that match the query, the database containing records of such deals registered with the database; and respond, through the communication port, to the query with the deals that are within the provided distance.

Abstract: A method for facilitating the broadcast of encrypted data includes: storing a content encryption key and a server private key of a first cryptographic key pair; storing a recipient profile, the profile being related to a recipient computing device including a recipient public key of a second cryptographic key pair; receiving a broadcast request from a broadcast computing device including an broadcast message encrypted using the content encryption key; identifying a unique identifier; transmitting a data message including the encrypted broadcast message and the unique identifier; receiving a key request from the recipient computing device including the unique identifier; verifying that the unique identifier included in the key request is equivalent to the identified unique identifier; encrypting the content encryption key using the recipient public key; and transmitting the encrypted content encryption key to the recipient computing device.
