SohoStar’s services cover every operational aspect of small business and residential users, from CyberSecurity and anti-phishing, to producing and consuming streaming content. Generally delivered through gateway devices that SohoStar sells, SohoStar continues to expand SohoStar℠services through our contracted service partners, providing redundancy and longevity.
SohoStar℠ Cyber Security
SohoStar’s The Red Pill® Security Suite uses CidrPress™, WhereIsFido™, VoirDire™, and HiveRouter™ services. Each of these services work with each other providing both coordinated security, identification, locator services, and threat scoring. Assuming the worst events, Queb® devices rely on decentralized systems with critical verification services. When decentralized reporting and incident handling services are not available, Hive associations are used with identification and threat notification.
SohoStar℠ Communication Services
SohoStar is a full service communications platform, offering secure voice, video, messaging, and data in concurrent (phone call, chat, etc), one-way streaming (TV, radio, chyron), as well as email, newsletters, and texts. As many edge devices try to be on line all the time, SohoStar provides unified messaging and receipt, encryption, store and forward, for Voice mail, messages, and other per-comm-handling situations.
Per-Comm-Handling manages communication routing, services, redirection, or specific responses based on the Called and Calling Identification as well as networking status, and other (DND, Forwarding, messaging) resolutions.
SohoStar℠ Gateway Services
Most business and residential users do not have an assigned IP address. SohoStar℠ services assume that edge devices may have been reassigned dynamic IP addresses. Queb®devices rely on keys and secrets to uniquely identify an endpoint. SohoStar’s HiveRouting service provides notification and locator services to find specific devices. As part of the Communications package, Gateway services provide the reception, recording, and forwarding of information and individual communications.
Gateway services also enable outside world to inside Hive associations for connections for all multimedia including interfaces to other social media systems. Hive associations are a user set-up association such as co-workers, or user groups. When ever possible, Queb® devices attempt a direct connection, rather than forwarding through the SohoStar services.
SohoStar℠ Hosting Services
Although Queb® devices can provide page hosting on their own and SohoStar℠Gateway can route domain names or sub-domain routing, sometimes users would rather put their Enterprise servers, or simply their hosted websites in SohoStar’s cloud and data centers.
SohoStar provides Domain name registry, storage, virtual servers, and data center rack space. The Queb® Enterprise server is intended for a distributed workforce, including PBX, web serving, messaging, XMPP, Zero-Trust Data entanglement, and other services.
SohoStar℠ Social Bridging and Post Distribution Services
Each Queb® device has a browser accessible Social Media tool called Fifth™ which can be used as a Dashboard control panel. Fifth also provides social media including bridging to other systems (outside of SohoStar) through SohoStar’s Fifth service. Posts can be encrypted and directed to SohoStar for HiveRouting service, which will re-broadcast content to followers.
SohoStar℠VoirDire Escrow Service
Decentralized Self-Sovereign Identification is a form of Digital ID, which is created and issued by the user. A Web3 SSID has been struggling because in most cases maintaining the linkages for an SSID boils down to a platform single point of failure. There are a number of pieces to make SSIDs function in a decentralized manner, and the industry is not quite ready. SohoStar has a workaround that abstracts the SSID reference identifier and decentralized distributed ledgers. In addition to a working system planned for 25’Q2, SohoStar will publish the Data Dictionary and protocols necessary for an SSID. Data associated with the SSID includes addresses, residency information, Payment account references, digital wallets, and other forms of state verified Identification. SohoStar℠is providing a key escrow service initially for Queb® owners.
SohoStar℠ Transaction Processing Merchant Service
SohoStar provides decentralized transaction processing services using Smart Contracts on blockchains. SohoStar is developing a Payment Facility Service allowing fiat and crypto currencies to be used in transactions. In the meantime, interfaces have been developed to provide pre-established merchant service interfaces for E-commerce payments.
Critical to fraud prevention, and Know Your Customer policy, the Smart Contract processor utilizes a SohoStar℠ SSID for transaction processing.
SohoStar℠Content Publishing Service
SohoStar provides publishing, storage, distribution and streaming services. SohoStar’s Digital Rights Management, embeds the content purchase, rental, and terms of use in each container.
SohoStar℠Customer Services Registry
SohoStar’s Customer Services Registry is designed for SohoStar Customers to solicit and utilize other customer’s services. Accessible from all Queb™ devices, service offering records include customer ratings, types of services, terms of service, and service portfolios.
