A state of visitability of a network interface can be determined by receiving, via a network interface, an instruction. In response, a security request including data of a trigger can be transmitted to a network access point (NAP). A result associated with the security request can be determined, and a state of visitability of the NAP can be determined based at least in part on the result. The state of visitability can indicate whether a predetermined credential-evaluation entity is reachable… Show more

A state of visitability of a network interface can be determined by receiving, via a network interface, an instruction. In response, a security request including data of a trigger can be transmitted to a network access point (NAP). A result associated with the security request can be determined, and a state of visitability of the NAP can be determined based at least in part on the result. The state of visitability can indicate whether a predetermined credential-evaluation entity is reachable via the NAP. In some examples, a network registry can receive an indication of a first NAP. The network registry can determine, based at least in part on stored registry information, an instruction associated with the first NAP, and transmit the instruction. In some examples, a terminal can transmit multiple security requests, and present a user interface indicating respective network access points and respective results. Show less

Short message service (SMS) is a communications protocol that allows an interchange of short text messages between mobile computing devices. SMS text messaging has become one of the most widely used tools of communications in many business and personal situations having billions of active users sending and receiving text messages on their mobile computing devices.

Short message service (SMS) is a communications protocol that allows an interchange of short text messages between mobile computing devices. SMS text messaging has become one of the most widely used tools of communications in many business and personal situations having billions of active users sending and receiving text messages on their mobile computing devices. However, due at least to the increasing availability of eavesdropping equipment for cellular communications, SMS messages are becoming more vulnerable to eavesdropping, spoofing, and other malicious attacks. As a result, securing SMS communication against eavesdropping, interception, and modification by other parties is of increasing concern to users. Show less

Embodiments generate and provide connection quality data for networks based on past performance of those networks. Network experience data and corresponding device context are received from a first set of mobile devices. The received data is processed to generate the connection quality data, which is distributed to a second set of mobile devices for use in selecting a network and establishing a connection. Feedback describing performance of the selected network is received and applied to adjust… Show more

Network experience data and corresponding device context are received from a first set of mobile devices. The received data is processed to generate the connection quality data, which is distributed to a second set of mobile devices for use in selecting a network and establishing a connection. Feedback describing performance of the selected network is received and applied to adjust the previously generated connection quality data. In some embodiments, the connection quality data represents voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call quality. Show less

Embodiments select networks for connection based on application-specific quality scores. A request is received from an application for a network connection. Connection quality data for nearby networks is accessed. The connection quality data is derived from crowdsourced data. The connection quality data is adjusted based on a device context to produce an application-specific quality score for each of the networks. One or more of the networks are selected for connection based on the… Show more

Embodiments select networks for connection based on application-specific quality scores. A request is received from an application for a network connection. Connection quality data for nearby networks is accessed. The connection quality data is derived from crowdsourced data. The connection quality data is adjusted based on a device context to produce an application-specific quality score for each of the networks. One or more of the networks are selected for connection based on the application-specific quality scores. In some embodiments, a single network connection endpoint is provided to the application to abstract connection management details from the application. Show less
