  • Publication number: 20230089291
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing secure dynamic address resolution and communication. Accordingly, a node may include processor and memory having instructions thereon, that when executed, cause the node to pair with another node. The pairing may include creating a DNS record on the node including a current address associated with the second node, this current address may be dynamically updated. The instructions may further allow the node to transmit a message to the second node, based on a resolved address from the DNS record on the first node. Authentication, dynamic message encryption and the provision of a DNS cache may further be implemented on the node.

  • Patent number: 10110552
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a node (device), system, and computer program for providing secure dynamic address resolution and communication, without having to utilize third party DNS and/or MX server(s). Accordingly, a node may include processor and memory having instructions thereon, that when executed, cause the node to pair with another node. The pairing may include creating a DNS record on the node including a current address associated with the second node, this current address may be dynamically updated. The instructions may further allow the node to transmit a message to the second node, based on a resolved address from the DNS record on the first node. Authentication, dynamic message encryption and the provision of a DNS cache may further be implemented on the node.

  • Patent number: 10110580
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for providing secure dynamic address resolution and communication directly between two nodes, without communication to third party DNS and/or MX server(s). A first a second node are initially paired, which may include the identification of an authentication scheme and creating a DNS record with the current address of the other node, the address of the other node may be dynamically updated. Further secure transmission of messages may be implemented, which include first resolving based on the DNS record a current address of the other node, authentication the destination node, and transmitting a message upon successful authentication. Dynamic message encryption and the provision of a DNS cache may further be implemented.

  • Patent number: 8027883
    Abstract: An affiliate manipulation system that permits consumers, ISPs, search engines and intermediaries to maximize affiliate program participation in transactions by or through them. The affiliate manipulation system accesses an affiliate-capable merchant through the Internet at the direction of a buyer or consumer through an ISP or search engine. An affiliate code for a preferred commercial agent is inserted into the purchase order. The preferred commercial agent is the buyer or consumer, ISP, search engine or other designated recipient. When the buyer initiates a purchase from the affiliate-capable merchant, the system inserts the affiliate code for the preferred commercial agent where there was no affiliate code, or replaces an existing affiliate code in favor of the preferred commercial agent. A purchase order is effected through the affiliate-capable merchant. The order is completed and credit for the sale is given to the preferred commercial agent, based upon the affiliate code.
