  • Patent number: 11443025
    Abstract: A single sign-on system using blockchain is disclosed. The single sign-on system may interconnect various organization systems over a peer-to-peer network, with each organization system having a blockchain node and an application programming interface (API). The blockchain node invokes and uses a smart contract to write registration credentials to the blockchain during a registration process. During a login process, the blockchain node invokes the smart contract to determine whether login credentials match stored login credentials in the blockchain. In response to matching login credentials, the API may generate a single sign-on token that can be used by a user device to access one or more organization systems connected over the network.

  • Patent number: 11412005
    Abstract: A network device may receive a request to install a filter associated with an application identifier or a uniform resource locator (URL), and may add, based on the request, information identifying the filter to a list of filters associated with the network device. The network device may receive a packet destined for an endpoint device, may generate a copy of the packet, and may cause the packet to be forwarded to the endpoint device. The network device may perform deep packet inspection of the copy to identify a packet application identifier or a packet URL, and may determine whether the packet application identifier or the packet URL matches the application identifier or the URL. The network device may cause the copy of the packet to be forwarded to a content destination device when the packet application identifier or the packet URL matches the application identifier or the URL.

    Abstract: A software defined networking (SDN)-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack prevention method, an apparatus, and a system, where a controller delivers a traffic statistics collection instruction to a first packet forwarding device. The traffic statistics collection instruction instructs the first packet forwarding device to perform traffic statistics collection, and carries a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address. The controller collects statistical data reported by the first packet forwarding device, obtains, according to the statistical data, a statistical value of global traffic flowing to the destination IP address, and delivers a DDoS prevention policy to a second packet forwarding device based on a determining result that the statistical value of the global traffic exceeds the preset threshold.
