  • Patent number: 9934375
    Abstract: Methods and nodes for securing execution of a web application by determining that a call dependency from a first to a second function needs to be protected, adding a Partial Execution Stub (PES) function comprising code to establish a communication connection with a trusted module. Methods and nodes for secured execution of a web application by invoking a function of the web application, invoking a Partial Execution Stub (PES) function during execution of the function of the web application, sending, from the PES function, a message call with current execution information to a trusted module and receiving, a verification result from the trusted module.

  • Publication number: 20160335431
    Abstract: A method to secure a non-native application. The non-native application is processed to obtain an application stub to be triggered within a virtual machine. The processing of the non-native application also provide a native code function upon which the application stub depends. The non-native function is part of a trusted module that extends application security services from the trusted module to the virtual machine. The trusted module is a native code application that creates a trusted zone as a root of trustiness extending to the virtual machine by an execution-enabling mechanism between the application tab and the non-native function.

  • Patent number: 8839414
    Abstract: A custom database connectivity component is deployed in conjunction with a native database connectivity component and a credential manager. The custom connectivity component has a requestor interface for communicating with a requestor application, a credential service interface for communicating with the credential manager, a native database connectivity interface for communicating with native connectivity components, and a decision engine for determining how to convert a request from a requestor to an appropriate API call to the credential manager. The custom connectivity component provides an authenticated and authorized database connection for a requestor application. The component transparently serves retrieves database, or other target resource, credentials on a real time basis, without requiring code changes to the requestor application.

  • Patent number: 8424077
    Abstract: Systems and methods for unattended authentication of software applications to provide these applications with access to shared resources. A server password manager (SPM) module resident on a node also occupied by a requester software application requesting access to resources receives the requestor's request. The SPM module creates a request package containing the requestor's information as well as the node's identifying information. The request package is then transmitted to a credentials manager (CM) module in a CM node. The request package, encrypted by the SPM module with encryption keys previously generated by the CM module, is decrypted by the CM module. The contents are checked against data stored by the CM module regarding the SPM module and the requestor application when these were registered with the CM. If the data matches, then the CM provides credentials which are used to give the requestor application access to the requested resources.
