  • Systems and methods for generating and validating configuration files for computing devices
    Patent number: 8898761
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for real-time automated generating and validating configuration files for provisioning computing devices. For example, method for provisioning a computing device includes receiving a user request to configure a computing device to access a service, generating a device configuration file to enable access to the service, validating the configuration file before deploying the configuration file to the computing device by testing configuration settings of the configuration file against the service for which the configuration file is generated to access, and deploying the configuration file to the computing device when the configuration file is deemed valid.

  • Secure access to a private network through a public wireless network
    Patent number: 8601569
    Abstract: A system, method and computer-program product for a client device to securely access a private network through a public wireless network. The system establishes a first network tunnel between the client device and a gateway of the public wireless network and then authenticates the client device with an authentication server of the private network using the first tunnel. The authentication is proxied by an authentication server of the public network. Once the authentication is successful, a second tunnel is established between the client device and a gateway of the private network for secure access by the client device to the private network.
