  • Patent number: 10389722
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to access relationships, more particularly to controlling access relationships between entities in a computerized system. In the disclose arrangement a first access relationship between a first entity and a second entity is determined. At least one intermediate entity is selected for routing of a second access relationship between the first entity and the second entity via the at least one intermediate entity. The second access relationship is created, the second access relationship comprising a chain of access relationships via the first entity, the at least one intermediate entity and the second entity.

  • Patent number: 10257176
    Abstract: A first private key used by a device is replaced by a second private key, the first private key having an associated public key. The second private key is secured based on the associated public key and communicated to replace the first private key at the device. The device receives the second private key. The first private key is secured by a secret, and the device uses the secret to decrypt the first private key. The second private key is then encrypted using the decrypt first private key.

  • Patent number: 10102232
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for storing structured information are disclosed. A hash value computed over structured information determined for a host is compared to a hash value computed over a corresponding structured information stored in a remote database for the host where after an update of at least a part of the stored structured information can take place in response to determining a difference in the hash values and the stored structured information is kept in the database as it is in response to determining that the hash values are equal.

  • Patent number: 9667594
    Abstract: This invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for providing a configuration that sets up and maintains communication connections through the use of network address translation (NAT). The configuration includes communicating, by a device, packets from and/or to another device, in which the communication involves a network address translation, and maintaining the network address translation by transmitting, by the device, packets using the network address translation frequently enough to prevent any intermediate device from deleting a mapping for the network address translation from a cache of the intermediate device.
