Patent number: 10425395Abstract: A client system may be configured to request a single sign on authentication, in which an identity certificate is provided by the client system and stored by a server system. The stored certificate may be used to later authenticate a secure connection between the client system and the server system, after validating that the user represented by the certificate is a legitimate registered user of the server. The secure connection validated by the stored certificate may be, for example, a secure sockets layer/transport layer security (SSL/TLS) connection.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Unisys CorporationInventors: Glen E Newton, Robert L Bergerson, James R Heit, Steven R Hallquist

Publication number: 20160364222Abstract: A modern application may be installed, loaded, and run in a legacy software environment by installing a stub library with the application. The stub library can include stub symbolic objects that define functions of external shared libraries called by the application. When the application references external shared libraries that are not already present in the legacy software environment, the stub symbolic objects that define the functions being called from the referenced external shared libraries can be copied into the legacy software environment from the stub library, allowing the application to load and run successfully without the real external shared libraries being installed in the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2015Publication date: December 15, 2016Applicant: Unisys CorporationInventors: Jason C. Schultz, Robert L. Bergerson, John A. Peters

Patent number: 9380047Abstract: A server system may be configured to receive a request for a connection from a client application. The server system may also be configured to determine if the client application is permitted to connect with the server. The connection with the client application may be prohibited if the server determines that the client application is not permitted to connect with the server. A secure connection with the client application may be permitted if the server determines that the client application is permitted to connect with the server. The secure connection may be established with the security protocol settings specified by a process on the server or shared security protocol settings specified by on a server system-wide basis.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Unisys CorporationInventors: Jason C.

Publication number: 20160099945Abstract: The non-emulated interface may determine whether the domain-name-to-be-resolved resides in a zone on a list of secured zones. If so, the DNS query may be processed by a non-emulated interface in the host environment. The non-emulated interface may determine whether the domain-name-to-be-resolved resides in a zone on a list of secured zones. If so, the DNS query may be performed by the non-emulated interface using DNSSEC. DNS resolutions that do not pass the security checks may fail while DNS resolutions that pass the security checks will be returned to the customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2014Publication date: April 7, 2016Applicant: UNISYS CORPORATIONInventors: Susan C Webb, John A Peters, Robert L.
