  • Patent number: 10963570
    Abstract: Systems and methods for diskless booting a remote server. The remote server includes a secure cryptoprocessor having a root key that is unique to the cryptoprocessor. Keying information can be fetched from an image server, which includes a certificate associated with the remote server and a private key of a key pair associated with the remote server. The key pair can be generated by the secure cryptoprocessor based on the root key. The client certificate can be created from a public key of the key pair. A mutually authenticated secure channel between the servers can be established by authenticating the servers based at least in part on the loaded keying information. Images of components of the remote server can be fetched from the image server via the secure channel, and then the remote server can be further booted accordingly.

  • Patent number: 9497173
    Abstract: A method and system implements storing one or more encrypted electronic documents and document information associated therewith, organizing the one or more electronic documents to facilitate access by a user; and enabling remote secure access to the one or more electronic documents through a user device. The one or more electronic documents are a copy of one or more physical documents or a copy of documents that is not a physical document. The document information of an electronic document includes information on a location of the physical document. The electronic document(s) and the document information are stored in a separate storage databases.

  • Patent number: 7107613
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, the number of tunnels on a network may be reduced. A set of tunnels are selected which exchange data packets between a first security device and a second security device. Each tunnel in the set of tunnels specify a dimensional range for data packets that are subject to that tunnel. A super tunnel is determined to replace the set of tunnels, so that a dimensional range of the data packets that are made subject to the super tunnel encompass a dimensional range of the data packets that were made subject to the set of tunnels. A determination is made as to whether the super tunnel excludes data packets that are permitted by the first security device and the second security device, but not subject to any one of the tunnels other than tunnels in the set of tunnels.
