Abstract: A Content Provider Secure and Traceable Portal (CPSTP) facilitate secure content delivery and accounting for controlled and uncontrolled contents and for small to large content providers. The CPSTP defines security and non-repudiation of users, a secure environment for electronic signature, and trace-ability functions that are critical for commercial and financial transactions of e-Business contents on the integrated optical and wireless Internet. The CPSTP apparatus and functions facilitate and support the rapid growth in commercial and financial transactions for all wireless and wire-line devices capable of communicating on the Internet. The CPSTP functions may be used to provide secure and traceable end-to-end connections over the integrated optical and wireless Internet for all types of content configurations, including Business-to-Consumer (B2C), Business-to-Business (B2B), Consumer-to-Business (C2B), and Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C).

Abstract: In a networked environment, where multiple Internet Service Providers and multi-vendor equipment are involved in e-Business services and applications offering, the risk of overloading the Internet devices are real and security management is a challenge. Internet device traffic overloads could result from spoof attacks, (Denial-of-Service (DoS) or Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks), device failures, special events, or widespread loads above engineered levels. To solve the problem of Internet security management for integrated optical and wireless devices, a new apparatus and functions running on IP devices are defined in this invention. Each Internet device includes counters and thresholding feature to manage the security attacks and prevent failure of the device being attacked.
