Abstract
The advent of end-to-end encryption systems has put an end to the use of “caching” methods which consisted of replicating and storing data flows relating to content items in a “cache” which is located on board one or more intermediate devices. However, the disappearance of these “caching” solutions affects the management of the resources of different communication devices, particularly by bringing about an increase in the number of connections between communication devices that is necessary for delivering content items to the user terminals. Unlike known “caching” techniques in which the content itself is stored in at least one cache memory of a cache server, the method relies on storing in a cache server all of the messages exchanged between the original server hosting the content and the cache server, leading to the delivery of the content to the cache server.
