Abstract

Described are techniques for facilitating automated connections between any two devices a plurality of devices—including applications—across disparate and unsecured networks including the Internet. For example, details about a device or application including its unique identity are managed through a master repository in a protocol-agnostic manner. By requiring hosts in a network to maintain communication (bi-directionally) with the repository, the repository acts as an intelligent-management bridge between different devices and sources.
