Abstract: A conformal airlock assembly for ingress and egress through a door from a high pressure environment to a low pressure environment. The airlock assembly includes a flexible, gas impermeable membrane that cooperates with a support wall in an airtight manner to form an interior pocket over the door on one side of the wall, and a distal-most rigid, rib structure generally disposed in said interior pocket. A gas displacement system, in flow communication with the interior pocket, is selectively operable to flow air out of the interior pocket, collapsing the membrane toward a deflated condition. An actuation system coupled to the distal-most rib structure is operable to displace the rib structure and the flexible membrane, in the deflated condition, away from the one side of the support wall, to a displaced condition. Such displacement of the airtight membrane creates a low pressure space in the pocket that is selected to be sufficiently proximate that of the low pressure environment.

Hence, the door may be opened to permit ingress and egress therethrough without a large pressure differential.

Abstract: The morphing system and method alters the behavior and/or state of a jumping application according to the needs and/or requirements of the target host. In more detail, the jumping application system gathers information about the computer hosts to which jumping applications can be sent, and uses that information to alter the code (the computer instructions) or the state (the data) of each jumping application as each jumping application is dispatched.

Abstract: A jumping application security system and method provides known safe code for the jumping applications on each jump. A participating host specifies the desired code by describing the desired behavior. The security system provides the specified code on behalf of the host.

Abstract: A mobile application security system and method, in the preferred embodiment, permits authentication of a user of a sensitive mobile application dispatched from a vulnerable host to occur, but does not perform user authentication for non-sensitive mobile applications or for sensitive mobile applications dispatched from non-vulnerable hosts. A hub and spoke architecture and a peer-to-peer architecture are described.

Abstract: A mobile application security system and method, in the preferred embodiment, ensures the integrity of a mobile application's multi-jump access control list (ACL) by either (a) checking the compatibility of a mobile application's multi-jump ACL with a known accurate multi-jump ACL, or (b) overwriting a mobile application's multi-jump ACL with an ACL which is known to be accurate, depending on whether the host dispatching the mobile application is trusted or not trusted to modify a mobile application's multi-jump ACL, respectively.

Abstract: The mobile application security system and method in accordance with the invention increases the overall level of security in using a mobile application. In a preferred embodiment, the system may use a peer-to-peer architecture wherein each host of a mobile application is a node of the peer-to-peer network. In operation, when a mobile application jumps between hosts (nodes), information about the mobile application is generated and sent to a central security enforcement node so that the central security enforcement node may perform various security checks. The security checks ensure that the security of the mobile application is not compromised.

Abstract: The mobile application security system and method in accordance with the invention increases the overall level of security in using a mobile application. In a preferred embodiment, the system may use a client/server architecture wherein each host of a mobile application is treated as a client and a central computer is treated as the server. In operation, any time that a mobile application is going to jump between hosts, it must first pass through the central computer so that the central computer may perform various security checks. The security checks ensure that the security of the mobile application is not compromised and overcomes the above problems with typical mobile application systems.
