Abstract: A computing device includes: a processing unit; and memory encoding instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to: receive a request from a client computing device; establish a first secured connection to the client computing device; select a server computing device from a plurality of server computing devices to service the request from the client computing device, selection being made based, at least in part, upon load balancing considerations; establish a second secured connection to the server computing device, the second secured connection being separate from the first secured connection; and allow the client computing device to securely communicate with the server computing device through the first and second secured connections.

Abstract: A browser cache-securing component facilitates online communication of confidential data, such as for financial information, purchasing transactions, or user identification. Caching webpages for subsequent presentation enhances user productivity and efficiency while reducing burdens on network resources. Yet, the security risks of intrusions into cache memory are mitigated by retaining encrypted data in cache memory without prior decryption. A modest overhead in decrypting when and if the webpage is to be presented again gains a security and privacy advantage without taking away functionality. Decrypted versions of confidential data can thereby be relegated to volatile memory. Upon termination of a session, a session key shared by a network server is deleted, preventing subsequent decryption. Executing the browser cache-securing component in a virtual machine environment allows multiple browser types to benefit from the security feature.
