Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for using router identifier information to mitigate denial of service attacks in an autonomous system (AS). Each router of the AS may be assigned a router identifier (ID) that is unique to the AS and may be periodically changed. The ingress router first receiving the packet within a particular AS may insert its router ID into the packet. A threat intelligence system may sample packets of traffic received by the AS and examine the inserted ingress router IDs in making a threat determination. If a distribution of detected ingress router IDs from sampled packets does not match an expected distribution of ingress router IDs, one or more threat mitigation actions may be invoked.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide an authenticator system that protects secret authentication keys associated with relying parties to which a user is authenticating. Present systems and methods allow cross-platform and cross-device WebAuthn usage. Example systems employ a server-based secure enclave and secure tunnel communication between the browser application or mobile application and the secure enclave server. A user of a service provider of the authenticator system owns the secret authentication key, which is stored in an encrypted vault protected by a user secret and hosted by the service provider. Decrypting the secret key may be based on a key arrangement, where keys from the user, the service provider, and the secure enclave are used to successfully decrypt the secret authentication key within the secure enclave.

Abstract: A system for secure delivery of data, algorithms, or intellectual property into an untrusted environment utilizes an embedded transcoder within the client computing environment. The embedded transcoder takes advantage of cloud computing functionality to isolate the embedded transcoder from the client application, with a proxy junction between the client application and embedded transcoder. Communication to a provider cloud environment is maintained through a generic authentication appliance system (GAAS) with a client-facing application programming interface (API), with the GAAS also communicating to the customer cloud environment components through the proxy junction. To provide the client application permission to access specific components within the provider application, the API authorizes the client application through tokens activated with public/private keys.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for effectuating overlay tunnels between software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) end-point devices despite the use of IPSec passthrough in one or more network devices, such as modems or routers that exist between the end-point devices. In particular, the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol can be allowed to progress until a modem/router is able to establish an IKE tunnel, after which overlay packets using cloud-managed keys can be allowed to pass through the modem/router. An overlay tunnel may then be established between the end-point devices, and the IKE tunnel can be taken down.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises processing circuitry to execute instructions, and decode circuitry to decode the instructions for execution by the processing circuitry. The decode circuitry is responsive to an authentication code generation instruction specifying a first source value to control the processing circuitry to generate an authentication code dependent on the first source value, and store the authentication code to a memory location associated with a store address formed using a value obtained from a register. By providing a single instruction, this reduces register pressure enabling improved performance by avoiding unnecessary load/store operations, and makes compilation of code using the authentication code generation instruction simpler.
