  • Patent number: 8776188
    Abstract: A method of accessing a first computing device from a second computing device using a remote desktop service is disclosed. The first and second device register are authenticated and registered with a remote access gateway. In some embodiments, the remote access gateway stores a copy of the first computer and changes made to the copy are synchronized with the actual first computer when it access the remote access gateway. A virtual operating system experience on the second computer is virtually the same as the real operating system experience on the first computer.

  • Patent number: 8752130
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a multi-stakeholder environment is controlled by first assigning a first domain to a first stakeholder and a second domain to a second stakeholder. Then a first access policy is defined for the first domain and access is restricted to the first domain for the second stakeholder according to the first access policy. In another embodiment, an access request is handled in a multi-stakeholder environment by first receiving parameters forwarded by hooks in system call functions in a kernel of the multi-stakeholder environment, wherein the parameters contain information about a first stakeholder requesting access to a domain corresponding to a second stakeholder. Then it is determined whether to allow the first stakeholder to access the domain based at least partially upon security settings corresponding to the domain.

  • Patent number: 8745163
    Abstract: A web server utility executes on a server and provides the following functions: determining when a web page profile also includes an assignment of additional content; dynamically retrieving the additional content; and generating the web page with the additional content either appended to, prepended to, or wholly replacing one or more sections of the baseline content. When the utility detects assignment of additional content, the utility checks a specific location within the filesystem for the additional content. When the additional content is not found at the specific location, the utility automatically checks the temporary directory (for static content) then the centralized administrative and/or content (CAC) server for the additional content. When the additional content is dynamic, the CAC server retrieves and executes the file at the CAC server to generate the dynamic content, which is transmitted back to the web server for rendering within or as the whole-page output.

  • Patent number: 8732451
    Abstract: As provided herein, when using an untrusted network connection, a secure online environment can be created for a remote machine by connecting to a trusted computer with a trusted network connection. A proxy server is installed on a first computing device and shared encryption keys are generated for the first device and a portable storage device. A connection is initiated between a second computing device (e.g., remote device), connected to an untrusted network, and the first computing device, comprising initiating a proxy server protocol from the portable storage device (e.g., attached to the second device), using the second computing device. A secure connection between the first and second devices is created using the encryption keys.

  • Patent number: 8705742
    Abstract: In a first data compression process, a compressed code of an input symbol is generated in accordance with a compression dictionary selected on the basis of P symbols immediately preceding the input symbol, and a (P+1)K+1-th compressed code is encrypted to generate a compressed and encrypted code. Then, compressed and encrypted data comprising compressed and encrypted codes and other compressed codes is output. In a second data compression process, a bit string is added to the head of compression target data, and a compressed code of an input symbol is generated in accordance with a compression dictionary selected on the basis of a bit string or a symbol immediately preceding the input symbol. Then, a plurality of compressed codes are alternately output to different output destinations.

  • Patent number: 8688814
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of notifying an Application Function (AF) in a communications network of resource restrictions relating to a communication session. The network includes a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) for authorising and controlling flows of data in the session. In the method the AF sends an authorisation request to the PCRF for establishing the communication session. The authorisation request includes an indication that the AF is to be notified of resource restrictions for the data flows in the session. The PCRF notifies the AF of the resource restrictions.

  • Patent number: 8683555
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented to prevent denial of service attacks through the use of an interleaved pseudo-random sequence that is generated from two or more pseudo-random codes. Portions of the pseudo-random codes are interleaved with each other using a pre-determined instruction pattern. A message incorporating the interleaved sequence is transmitted to a receiver, which identifies the interleaved bit sequence in the message and, if the interleaved bit sequence is identified in the message, allows access to the service.
