  • Patent number: 11522701
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses may provide creation and management of composite tokens for use with services in a virtual environment without the user having to re-authenticate each time the user accesses a different service. A composite identity server may receive a request to upgrade a first authentication token for a user. The composite identity server may redirect a user agent to an identity provider for authentication and, in response, may receive a second authentication token for the user. The composite identity server may send the second authentication token to a federated microservice and, in response, may receive one or more claims of the second authentication token designated for inclusion in a composite token. The composite identity server may generate a composite token including the one or more claims of the first authentication token and one or more claims of the second authentication token.

  • Patent number: 11522785
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and method for intelligent path selection to reduce latency and maintain security. A client can request access to a server and multiple connections can be initiated to the requested destination, for example, a direct connection from a branch office and a backhauled connection through a data center. Traffic via the second connection can be controllable by application of at least one rule of the data center. A device can determine a delay in the exchange of data via the connections and a security level of the connections. The determination of the delay in the exchange of data via the another connection can be based on in part feedback about the application of the rule. The device can connect a client device to a server through one of the connections using the determination of the delay and the security level of the connection.

  • Patent number: 11520604
    Abstract: Methods and systems for accessing conflicting frameworks and classes are presented. In some embodiments, a conflicting frameworks computing platform may receive an application classloader corresponding to a mobile application. The application classloader may indicate one or more child application-defined classloaders. Subsequently, the conflicting frameworks computing platform may create a framework-defined classloader comprising a first class that conflicts with a second class in the one or more child application-defined classloaders. Further, the conflicting frameworks computing platform may create a framework-termination classloader. The framework-termination classloader may be a parent classloader of the framework-defined classloader. Next, the conflicting frameworks computing platform may replace, using a reflection function, the application classloader with a new application classloader.

  • Patent number: 11513757
    Abstract: A method of casting a source device display screen to a target device includes, by an application on the source device, storing information about the target device in a shared memory and issuing a request to an operating system to initiate capturing and casting for the source device display screen. The operating system responds to the request by launching a casting extension and supplying a content stream containing content of the source device display screen. Upon being launched, the casting extension (1) obtains the information about the target device from the shared memory and uses the information to establish a display connection with the target device, and (2) forwards the content stream to the target device on the display connection.
