Abstract: Secure communications can be established in which a request is received from a client computing device to instantiate a virtual key store (VKS) node. In response to the request, a cryptographically calculated uniform resource locator (URL) is generated. In addition, a crytopgraphic identity certificate is received from a certification authority server. Subsequently, a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) instance is instantiated and configured with the cryptographic identity certificate. Communications are then established between the client computing device and the VDI instance using the generated cryptographically calculated URL such that the VDI instance acts as a cryptographic proxy with at least one remote computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing access to data on a personalized basis. A service operating on a server is identified, where data at the service is associated with a first user and other users. Data associated with the first user is extracted. A network location is spawned for the first user. The extracted data is transferred to the spawned network location to make the extracted data available to the first user in a read-only fashion by accessing the spawned network location. Additional network locations are spawned for second and third users, respectively, wherein data associated with the second and third users is transferred such that they are available to the second and third users by accessing their respective additional network locations.

Abstract: A system for obscuring a source IP address of a source network device from a destination network device comprises a proxy manager and first and second disposable network proxies. Credentials for a plurality of disposable network proxies are provided to the source network device. A proxy disposal trigger is generated for each disposable network proxy in the plurality of disposable network proxies based on usage of the disposable network proxy. A connection request comprising the credentials and a destination IP address of the destination network device is received from the source network device. First traffic from the source network device to the destination network device is forwarded over a first connection with the destination network device that uses an IP address of the disposable network proxy. Second traffic from the destination network device to the source network device is forwarded over a second network connection with the source network device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a computer-implemented method of implementing an on-demand computing network environment. A network specification is received from a user. Resources from one or more resource providers are provisioned. The on-demand computing network is configured, where configuring comprises assigning a first provisioned resource as a hub device and assigning one or more second provisioned resources as rim devices, where a particular rim device comprises a bridge device, where the bridge device repackages data received from the on-demand computing network prior to forwarding that data such that the data received from the on-demand computing network appears to terminate at the bridge device to an observer viewing the data between the hub device and the bridge device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for altering the character of data originating from a Virtual Private Network (VPN) are provided. First data is received from the VPN by a first network interface. The first data comprises a first plurality of packets. A message is generated by combining the first plurality of packets. Second data is generated by segmenting the message into a second plurality of packets. A third plurality of packets in the second plurality of packets is equal to the network maximum transfer unit allowed by the Internet and the last packet in the second plurality of packets is less than the network maximum transfer unit allowed by the Internet. The second data is forwarded to the second network interface. The second network interface sends the data to a web server.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically disseminating a private key are presented. A first message requesting a key proxy instance is received from a first user device. The first message comprises a first symmetric key. A key proxy server is directed to allocate a key proxy instance for communication with the first user device based on a device public key that corresponds to the first user device. A unique URL corresponding to the key proxy instance is received from the key proxy server. A second message comprising the unique URL is sent to the first user device. The second message is encrypted using the first symmetric key and signed using a server private key. A third message comprising the URL of the key proxy instance is received from the first user device and forwarded to a second user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a computer-implemented method of implementing an on-demand computing network environment. A network specification is received from a user. Resources from one or more resource providers are provisioned including an audio server resource. The on-demand computing network is configured, where configuring includes assigning a first provisioned resource as a hub device. One or more second provisioned resources are assigned as rim devices, where rim devices are configured to communicate with one another only via the hub device. One rim device is a proxy server to which the user connects using a device having an address, where the audio server transmits audio data to the user via the proxy server without knowledge of the address of the user device.
