  • Selective exclusion of LSPs on a per-packet basis
    Patent number: 7689674
    Abstract: A method is provided for selectively loading a layered service provider (LSP). The method includes registering at least one category for an installed LSP and registering a list of permitted categories of LSPs for an installed application. The application is then loaded, and the list of permitted categories of LSPs for the installed application is read. The installed LSP is loaded only if the at least one category is included in the list of permitted categories of LSPs.

  • Securing uniform resource identifier namespaces
    Patent number: 7200862
    Abstract: A namespace management module utilizes a persistent reservation store that associates URI namespaces with one or more permissions. The reservation store can contain a number of reservation entries that each include a URI identifying a URI namespace and a corresponding Access Control List (“ACLs”) that includes permissions for the identified URI namespace. When a request to register a URI namespace is received, the permissions of an appropriate ACL can be checked to determine if the registration is approved. When a resource request is received, permissions of the ACLs can also be checked to determine if the resource request should be routed to a registered process. Preemptive wildcards can be included in aggregated URIs to identify aggregated URI namespaces. Aggregated URIs can be included in registration requests to override the registration of unauthorized processes.
