Abstract: Computerized systems and methods facilitate detection of anomalous activity during the authentication of login attempts. When a login attempt is made, credentials (e.g., a username and password) are provided. A function call is made to check for anomalous activity. A count of unique usernames attempted during a given time period is compared against a unique username threshold. In some embodiments, a count of login attempts for the current username is also compared against a login attempt threshold. If either (or both) threshold is met or exceeded, an abnormal state is returned, and one or more enhanced authentication requirements are invoked. Alternatively, a normal state is returned, and the credentials are validated. If the login attempt is successful, the username is removed from consideration for anomalous activities checks for other login attempts.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for publishing sensitive content at a future time, where prior to the future time, receiving an encrypted version of the sensitive content is received and a sequence of proof rules are applied to random portions of the encrypted version of the sensitive content.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided for authenticating API messages using PKI-based authentication techniques. A client system can generate a private/public key pair associated with the client system and sign an API message using the private key of the private/public key pair and a PKI-based cryptographic algorithm, before sending the signed API message to a server system. The server system (e.g., operated by a service provider) can authenticate the incoming signed API message using a proxy authenticator located in less trusted zone (e.g., a perimeter network) of the server system. In particular, the proxy authenticator can be configured to verify the signature of the signed API message using the public key corresponding to the private key and the same cryptographic algorithm. The authenticated API message can then be forwarded to a more trusted zone (e.g., an internal network) of the server system for further processing.

Abstract: Certain embodiments disclose a method of provisioning security services for a domain or set of domains. The method comprises sending an electronic message to the domain or set of domains. The electronic message comprising a secret message. The secret message is encrypted using a public key that a certificate server associates with the domain or set of domains. The method further comprises receiving a response from the domain or set of domains. The response comprises data derived by decrypting the secret message using a private key of the domain or set of domains. In response to a determination that the received data corresponds to the secret message sent in the electronic message, the method initiates the provisioning of the security services for the domain or set of domains.

Abstract: Techniques to provide secure access to a cloud-based service are disclosed. In various embodiments, a request is received from a client app on a device to connect to a security proxy associated with the cloud-based service. A secure tunnel connection between the device and a node with which the security proxy is associated is used to establish the requested connection to the security proxy. Information associated with the secure tunnel is used to determine that the requesting client app is authorized to access the cloud-based service from the device and to obtain from an identity provider associated with the cloud-based service a security token to be used by the client app to authenticate to the cloud-based service.

Abstract: Data access sharing may be provided. Requests may be received to display an data item associated with a list of data items.

Abstract: An infrastructure delivery platform provides a RSA proxy service as an enhancement to the TLS/SSL protocol to off-load, from an edge server to an external cryptographic server, the decryption of an encrypted pre-master secret. The technique provides forward secrecy in the event that the edge server is compromised, preferably through the use of a cryptographically strong hash function that is implemented separately at both the edge server and the cryptographic server. To provide the forward secrecy for this particular leg, the edge server selects an ephemeral value, and applies a cryptographic hash the value to compute a server random value, which is then transmitted back to the requesting client. That server random value is later re-generated at the cryptographic server to enable the cryptographic server to compute a master secret. The forward secrecy is enabled by ensuring that the ephemeral value does not travel on the wire.

Abstract: A method of geolocation verification, including obtaining the geolocation of an operating system, generating a unique system ID for an installed operating system, and transmitting the geolocation of the operating system and a system ID to a data repository. The method further includes receiving a request to either initiate deployment of, or grant access to, a computer object associated with the operating system, identifying if the computer object requires geolocation verification, then identifying an object ID associated with the computer object and communicating each of the object ID, the geolocation of the operating system, and the system ID, to a domain controller for assessment. The method also includes searching the data repository to identify one or more geolocation object resource claims associated with the object ID, and comparing the geolocation resource claims with the communicated geolocation of the operating system.

Authentication and authorization includes generating a profile for a device based on at least one characteristic observed during a successful attempt by the device to access an 802.1X network infrastructure. Expected characteristics for a next attempt to access the infrastructure by the device are determined. A characteristic of the next access attempt is matched to the expected characteristic and access to the network is selectively controlled as a result of the matching. This is achieved without a supplicant being installed on the device.

Abstract: A method and information handling system (IHS) for identifying communication threats in an IHS. The method includes triggering a board management controller (BMC) to transmit a plurality of memory addresses identifying where a plurality of network packets received by the IHS are stored. A field programmable gate array (FPGA) within a processor receives the memory addresses of the network packets and retrieves the network packets. The network packets are analyzed by comparing at least one threat signature that is associated with undesired network behavior with the contents of the network packets. In response to the at least one threat signature matching the contents of at least one of the network packets, an intrusion alert is transmitted to the BMC.

Abstract: This invention allows connection of an apparatus with a low security level without lowering the security level of a network even when such apparatus issues a connection request. This invention is directed to an access point which makes wireless communications with a station using an encryption method (AES). Upon reception of a connection request message including information indicating an encryption method (WEP) that can be used by a station, the access point checks if the encryption method (WEP) recognized based on the received connection request message is different from the encryption method (AES). When it is determined that the two encryption methods are different, the access point launches a controller which makes wireless communications with the station using that encryption method (WEP).
