1. A method for enabling data usage accounting, comprising:

  • on a computing device that has secure applications and unsecure applications installed thereon, receiving through a secure application a request for a data session, wherein the secure application includes an encapsulated target application in which system calls of the target application are selectively overridden;

    wherein the secure application performs or facilitates the following;

    intercepting the request for the data session;

    modifying the request for the data session to cause the request to be re-directed back to the secure application;

    initiating a connection to enable retrieval of data in response to the request and to enable an accounting of the data session;

    creating a listening socket and wherein modifying the request for the data session comprises re-writing the addressing information of the request for the data session to point to the listening socket;

    determining that the computing device is connected to a Wi-Fi connection; and

    activating a setting that prevents intercepting the request for the data session and modifying the request for the data session from occurring.
