Systems and methods of authenticating user access based on an access point to a secure data network include a secure data network having a plurality of a network access points serving as entry points for a user to access the secure data network using a user device. The user is associated with a user identity, each network access point with a network access point identity. The user uses a user device to send an access request, requesting access to the secure data network, to the network access point, which then sends an authentication request to an identity server. The identity server processes the authentication request, by validating the combination of the user identity and the network access point identity, and responds with an authentication response, granting or denying access, as communicated to the user device via an access response. The secure data network may comprise an application level secure data network, in which the user uses the user device to request access to a network application. Furthermore, the identity server may validate the combined user identity and network access point identity data in conjunction with time information, access allowance data, and / or traffic volume data.

A system or method for network access protection executes steps for receiving, at a server, an access request for access to at least one network resource from a client machine, the access request including account authentication information comprising an account identifier and password, obtaining a client machine identifier from the client machine in response to receiving the request for access, and controlling access to the network resource in response to the access request by authorizing access to the network resource for the access request if the client machine identifier matches a registered machine identifier that is registered for use with the account authentication information and the account authentication information matches registered information for a valid account, but denying access to the network resource if the client machine identifier does not match a registered client machine identifier that is registered for use with the account authentication information.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide for yield management models for dynamically pricing access to wireless communication services. In some examples, access to a network is intermediated by a surrogate access point, which may act as a proxy or relay, expanding communication services to client devices that otherwise may lack a subscription, or may lack a suitable communication interface, to communicate directly with the wireless network. Here, the surrogate access point may be a subscriber device or user equipment. By utilizing the yield management model, the surrogate access point may receive compensation for sharing its connection to the network with nearby client devices. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

The invention relates to an environment information collection method and device for the network access party. The method comprises that present operation data of the network access party is obtained; according to the operate data, whether operation of the network access party satisfies the monitoring condition is determined; when the operation of the network access party satisfies the monitoring condition, an environment information collection command is sent to an access device corresponding to the network access party so that the access device collects environment information of the network access party; and the environment information collected by the access device is received and stored. According to the environment information collection method and device provided by the invention, more detailed information of the network access party can be collected, and hidden safety troubles in operation can be fundamentally solved.

The invention provides a download method and a download system based on a home gateway, and the home gateway, and the home gateway, wherein the method comprises the following steps: a download request message, including the document address and the document name of at least one document to be downloaded, sent by a user terminal is received by the home gateway; if the downlink data in the network access process does not appear within the preset time of a first downlink channel used for performing the network access, the document corresponding to the document address and the document name is downloaded through the first downlink channel, and the downloading of the document is stopped until the downlink data occur on the first downlink channel. Through the download method and the download system based on the home gateway, and the home gateway provided by the invention, the document can be downloaded through the home gateway when the user terminal does not perform the network access, thereby the network bandwidth is more fully and reasonably utilized, the download in the prior art when the user terminal performs the network access is avoided; and the occupation of a large quantity of bandwidths can influence the normal network access business of a user.

The present invention discloses a computer readable storage medium for storing an application program for network certification. The application program is implemented by an electrical device to execute a network certification process. The network certification process includes the following steps: a network module of the electrical device is driven to receive a certification code, which is broadcasted by a network access point (AP). Determine if the certification code is in an identified list. When the certification code is not in the identified list, the application program executes an action to limit communication between the electrical device and the network AP.

A system and method of network point of access detection and use is disclosed. In accordance with such system and method, suitability of a given wireless network for access and use can be determined. Such system and method are fully-configurable and incrementally-updatable using configuration information. The configuration information, which can include network profiles and scripting functions, can be used to dynamically configure a client device to perform test network points of access, to determine usability status of network points of access, without modifying an underlying operating platform (e.g., an operating software platform) of the client device. The usability status can be cached by a client device and used to facilitate subsequent network detection and to make an informed selection of a network point of access.
