Abstract: A novel method of providing virtual private access to a software defined data center (SDDC) is provided. The SDDC uses distributed VPN tunneling to allow external access to application services hosted in the SDDC. The SDDC includes host machines for providing computing and networking resources and a VPN gateway for providing external access to those resources. The host machines that host the VMs running the applications that VPN clients are interested in connecting performs the VPN encryption and decryption. The VPN gateway does not perform any encryption and decryption operations. The packet structure is such that the VPN gateway can read the IP address of the VM without decrypting the packet.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system receives, at a runtime library executed within a trusted execution environment (TEE) of a host system, a request from an application to invoke a predetermined function to perform a predefined operation. In response to the request, the system identifies a kernel object associated with the predetermined function. The system verifies an executable image of the kernel object using a public key corresponding to a private key that was used to sign the executable image of the kernel object. In response to successfully the system verifies the executable image of the kernel object, transmitting the verified executable image of the kernel object to a data processing (DP) accelerator over a bus to be executed by the DP accelerator to perform the predefined operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for connecting a private device to a public device based on various connection parameters. For example, a media guidance application may receive a communication requesting to use the public device from a private device that is implementing a private interface application (e.g., Netflix™ a streaming media application). In response, the media guidance application may generate an authorization key that is unique to the private device and comprises connection parameters. The media guidance application may transmit the authorization key to the private interface application to initiate a session between the public device and the private device. Whenever a command is received from the private device, the media guidance application may verify the authorization key and determine whether the connection parameters are satisfied. In response to verifying the authorization key and the connection parameters, the public device may execute the received command.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for an automatic graph-based detection of unlikely file possession are described herein. In an example, a system for detecting unauthorized file possession is adapted to generate a networked computing environment graph for files and the devices which store the files. The detection system may be further adapted to identify a file in question and a device in question that is in possession of the file in question. The detection system may be further adapted to generate a set of connection paths from the device in question to the file in question based upon the edges of the graph. The detection system may be further adapted to determine the device in question should not have possession of the file in question based on a set of metrics derived from the connection paths. The detection system may be further adapted to generate an alert based on the determination.

Abstract: A content management system for collecting files from one or more submitters in a collection folder. A collector, who generates the collection folder, can invite one or more submitters to submit one or more files to the collection folder. Facial recognition is applied to the submitted files. The one or more submitters have limited rights to the collection folder. The limited rights can include uploading rights and prohibiting a submitter from viewing files that other submitters associated with the collection folder submitted. Thus, the collection folder is able to store files from the one or more submitters, but prevent them from viewing other's submissions.

Abstract: A system and method for recursive propagating application access control relate to managing third-party application access to content files and folders on a cloud storage system. The access control system may receive an access authorization indication to grant a third-party entity access to a parent folder containing a first file, and then modify an access control rule associated with the parent folder based on the access authorization indication. The modified access control rule is propagated to a child folder of the parent folder, and thus the third-party entity is granted access to a second file in the child folder based on the modified access control rule. The second file shares a common attribute with the first file, 1 and the modified access control rule specifies the common attribute.

Abstract: A system allows a user to store his personally identifiable information (PII) on a personal device. When a third party wants to access the user's PII (e.g., to update the PII or to retrieve the PII), a notification will be presented to the user on the personal device seeking consent to the access. The notification may inform the user as to what information is being requested and which entity is requesting the access. The requested access will be denied unless the user consents to the access. In this manner, the user is given control over the dissemination of his PII. Additionally, the system alters or adjusts the PII that is stored in third-party servers so that even if these servers are breached, the user's actual PII is not exposed.
