Method, apparatus and system for managing packet delivery

A transport intermediation server comprising:

• an interface configured to receive a message from an origination content computer via a network;
• said message including an origination identifier associated with said origination content computer;
• said message including an absolute destination identifier uniquely associated with an electronic device to which said message is addressed;
• said message including a payload encrypted by said content computer using an encryption mechanism that is unique to said electronic device and said content computer such that said intermediation server cannot decrypt said payload;
• a processor configured to extract said origination identifier associated with origination content computer;
• said processor further configured to extract said unique absolute destination identifier;
• said processor further configured to receive a delivery policy associated with said unique absolute destination identifier;
• and,
• said processor further configured to forward, via said network interface, said message to said electronic device if said origination identifier is a permitted sender according to said delivery policy and otherwise configured to drop said message.

A computer-readable medium for storing a plurality of programming instructions;

• said programming instructions executable by a transport intermediation server;
• said programming instructions configured to render said transport intermediation server operable to perform a method of managing packet delivery comprising:
• receiving a message at a transport intermediation server from an origination content computer;
• said message including an origination identifier associated with said origination content computer;
• said message including an absolute destination identifier uniquely associated with an electronic device to which said message is addressed;
• said message including a payload encrypted by said content computer using an encryption mechanism that is unique to said electronic device and said content computer such that said intermediation server cannot decrypt said payload;
• extracting, at said transport intermediation server, said origination identifier associated with origination content computer;
• extracting, at said transport intermediation server, said unique absolute destination identifier;
• receiving, at said transport intermediation server, a delivery policy associated with said unique absolute destination identifier;
• and,
• forwarding, at said transport intermediation server, said message to said electronic device if said origination identifier is a permitted sender according to said delivery policy and otherwise, dropping said message.
