Abstract
A client confirmation method and system for identifying data traffic transmitted over a network controlled by an operator, the data traffic being associated with at least one client, the client confirmation system comprising: a client confirmation application configured to identify at least one client address; an authenticator configured to authenticate the at least one client identified by the at least one client address by analysing data usage information generated by the at least one client, wherein the data usage information is further known to the operator; and a traffic associator configured to associate data traffic transmitted over the network with the at least one client identified by the at least one client address.

A client confirmation system for identifying data traffic transmitted over a network controlled by an operator, the data traffic being associated with at least one client, the client confirmation system comprising:
- a client confirmation application configured to identify at least one client address;
- an authenticator configured to authenticate the at least one client identified by the at least one client address by analysing data usage information generated by the at least one client, wherein the data usage information is further known to the operator;
- and
- a traffic associator configured to associate data traffic transmitted over the network with the at least one client identified by the at least one client address.
A method for identifying data traffic transmitted over a network controlled by an operator, the data traffic being associated with at least one client, the method comprising:
- identifying at least one client address;
- authenticating the at least one client identified by the at least one client address by analysing data usage information generated by the at least one client, wherein the data usage information is further known to the operator;
- and
- associating data traffic transmitted over the network with the at least one client identified by the at least one client address.
A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied on a computer-readable medium and configured so as when executed on a processor of a user device within a communications architecture, to:
- identify at least one client address;
- authenticate the at least one client identified by the at least one client address by analysing data usage information generated by the at least one client, wherein the data usage information is further known to the operator;
- and
- associate data traffic transmitted over the network with the at least one client identified by the at least one client address.
