Abstract:
A method to facilitate secure access to sponsored content may include accessing a portal device to generate a campaign for a sponsored data service (SDS), and providing campaign network addresses and customer identifiers associated with the content aggregator device and at least one content partner device. The method includes generating a unique first security credential associated with each of the content partner device(s), and providing information for a notification of the campaign to the portal device, where the information includes the unique first security credential associated with each of the content partner device(s), and where the notification is provided to each of the at least one content partner device. The method includes signing a unique first SDS network address associated with sponsored content provided by each of the content partner device(s), where the signing is performed using the unique first security credential associated with each of the content partner device(s).
Abstract:
A method to facilitate secure access to a sponsored data service (SDS) through an application programming interface gateway includes providing an access token to a content provider device, where the access token authorizes the content provider device to receive sponsored data services (SDSs). The method also includes receiving a first request for an SDS resource from the content provider device; generating a first timestamp associated with the first request; determining a destination for the first request, where the destination specifies a network address corresponding to an SDS resource device; forwarding the first request to the SDS resource device based on the determined destination; receiving a first response from the SDS resource device corresponding to the first request; generating a second timestamp associated with the first response; and forwarding the first response, along with the first timestamp and the second timestamp, to the content provider device.
