Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses consistent with the invention relate to protecting namespaces. In one exemplary implementation, the systems, methods, and apparatuses may validate whether or not there is consistency of sponsorship between a first namespace and a second namespace grouped with the first namespace, and perform an action related to the first namespace if there is consistency of sponsorship.
