The present invention communication network system and method facilitates authentication and registration in a communication network as mobile nodes move from one geographical region to another. Multiple wireless domain services (WDSs) share client authentication information permitting relatively seamless roaming between subnets with minimal interruptions and delays. In one embodiment, a wireless domain service network communication method is performed utilizing partial authentication processes. A mobile node engages in an authentication protocol with a first wireless domain service (WDS) access point in a first subnet. The authentication credentials are forwarded to a second wireless domain service in a second subnet if the authentication protocol is successfully completed. The forwarded authentication credentials are utilized to authenticate the client entering the service area of the second wireless domain service in the second subnet. The authentication credentials can be “pushed” or “pulled” from the first wireless domain service to the second wireless domain service.

Search results and information found at an information source are transferred to a repository, such as an information depot, which is accessible by a number of means, including telephone and Internet.

This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for securely communicating authentication information in a networked environment such as one involving a client device, a cloud based computing platform, and an enterprise computing environment. Some embodiments may include encrypting, by a client device using a public key, authentication information provided by a user. The encrypted authentication information is sent to a cloud based service which then sends it to an on-premises component residing behind a firewall of an enterprise. The on-premises component decrypts the authentication information using a private key, validates the authentication information, and returns the result to the cloud based service over a network. If validated, the cloud based service establishes a secure connection between the client device and the on-premises component such that the user can access the enterprise's content without the enterprise having to share the authentication information with the cloud based service.

System and method for decentralized entity presence are described. Presence services may collaborate to form a presence service view on the network. A node providing an entity on the network may provide an entity advertisement to a presence service to advertise the entity's presence on the network. The presence information may be indexed locally by a presence service, and the indexes may be shared with one or more other presence services within the presence service view. A presence service may accept queries from nodes for a specific entity, and walk the query within the presence service view to locate the target entity. The query may then be forwarded to the node advertising the presence entity. The node providing the entity may respond directly to the querying node without going through the presence service. A presence contract may then be negotiated between the nodes without going through the presence service.
