  • System for selecting and disseminating active policies to peer device and discarding policy that is not being requested
    Patent number: 6941355
    Abstract: A method ensures that a set of anonymous peer devices (110) and anonymous policy servers (120) in a system (100) are apprised of all current versions of a policy so that they can quickly implement a version of the policy as it becomes active. The method includes determining whether new versions or a newly active version of a policy exists and generating a message containing the newly received or newly active policy version(s). The method also includes transferring the message to the peer devices (110), the transfer being initiated by either the sender or the receiver.
