Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing a remote server for storing credentials associated with a mobile device. For example, a login credential and/or a token credential can be stored at the remote server rather than at the mobile device. Because these credentials are stored at the remote server, the ecosystem including the mobile device and certain applications or services used by the mobile device can be more secure than conventional architectures.

Abstract: Systems and methods for metering network usage based upon an active container are provided herein. Multiple containers that encapsulate respective sets of applications included in an application layer of a mobile operating system can be provided. These containers can interface to the mobile operating system and manage interaction between the mobile operating system and the encapsulated application(s). Usage data facilitated by an application from the respective sets of applications can be identified and the usage data can be associated to an appropriate container, which is detail not available to device-level usage data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a custom application container for a mobile operating system are provided herein. A container that encapsulates an application layer of a mobile operating system can be provided. Thus, the container can include all applications that reside in the application layer and operate as a proxy for system calls issued by the applications to the mobile operating system. In particular, the container can intercept core service request and forward those requests to pluggable extensions relating to a core service requested by the core service request.
