Abstract: This document describes among other things, network security systems that incorporate a feedback loop so as to automatically and dynamically adjust the scope of network traffic that is subject to inspection. Risky traffic can be sent for inspection; risky traffic that is demonstrated to have high rate of threats can be outright blocked without further inspection; traffic that is causing errors due to protocol incompatibility or should not be inspected for regulatory or other reasons can be flagged so it bypasses the security inspection system. The system can operate on a domain by domain basis, IP address basis, or otherwise.

Abstract: The present techniques may provide improved processing and functionality of performance of the 128-bit AES Algorithm, which may provide improved power consumption. For example, in an embodiment, an encryption and decryption apparatus may comprise memory storing a current state matrix of an encryption or decryption process and a plurality of multiplexers configured to receive from the memory current elements of the state matrix stored in the memory, perform a cyclic shift on the received elements of the state matrix, and transmit the shifted elements to the memory for storage as a new state matrix.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for rotating keys used to tokenize data stored in a streaming data store where data is stored for a maximum time [W]. In some embodiments, a data layer of such a data store can encrypt arriving original data values twice. The original data value is first encrypted with a first key, producing a first token. The original data value is encrypted with a second key, producing a second token. Each encrypted token can be stored separately in the data store. A field may be associated with two database columns, one holding the value encrypted with the first key and the second holding the value encrypted with the second key. Keys are rotated after time [K], which is at least equal to and preferably longer than [W]. Rotation can involve discarding the older key and generating a new key so that two keys are still used.

Abstract: Among other things, this document describes systems, methods and devices for providing a cloud proxy auto-config (PAC) function for clients connected to a private network, such as an enterprise network. The teachings hereof are of particular use with cloud hosted proxy services provided by server deployments outside of the private network (e.g., external to the enterprise or other organizational network). This document also describes systems, methods and devices for providing a proxy auto-config (PAC) function for clients connected to a third party network, such as when the client moves outside of the enterprise network.

Abstract: Among other things, this document describes systems, methods and devices for discovering and identifying client devices that attempt to access out-of-policy network services via a secure web gateway (or other network security gateway) that lacks visibility into the client network actual IP space. This is a common problem with cloud hosted SWG services that enforce access policy from outside of a customer network (e.g., external to an enterprise network), due to network address translation at the interface between the customer network and the public Internet where the cloud-hosted SWG resides. The teachings hereof address this problem. In one embodiment, a cloud hosted SWG can redirect a client to a bouncer device inside the customer network; that bouncer device can capture the actual client IP address.

Abstract: It is known in the art to route client traffic to a network security gateway using the domain name system, or DNS. More specifically, a local DNS resolver on a private network may apply security intelligence to client DNS lookup requests, based on the domains that clients are seeking to resolve. If a requested domain represents a known security threat, the client can be blocked or directed to the network security gateway instead of to the desired host. This routing of the client request to the network security gateway can be accomplished by giving the client the IP address of the network security gateway instead of the actual IP address corresponding to the domain name, in response to a given DNS name query from the client. Request routing can be accomplished using other techniques, such as IP layer routing, as well.
