Abstract: A method of creating secure endpoints on a network includes registering by a node using a random selection algorithm to choose which server to register to; receiving by the node a property set ID of a property set that the node is a member of; and authorizing by the node using the property set ID to look up its authorization details in the property set. A method of creating secure endpoints on a secure network having at least one community of interest, includes registering by a node using a random selection algorithm to choose which server to register to; receiving by the node a property set ID of a property set that the node is a member of; and authorizing by the node through an authorization server using the property set ID to look up its authorization details in the property set; wherein the node and the authorization server are a member of the at least one community of interest.

Abstract: A network model includes nodes, node property sets, authorization groups and authorization servers. The node property sets define how the nodes operate and authenticate. The nodes are member of the node property sets. The authorization groups are associated with the node property set. And, authorization servers are member of the authorization groups. In addition, a network model in a secure network environment has at least one community of interest. The network model includes at least one node being a member of a node property set that defines how the node operates and authenticates.

Abstract: A generic endpoint package includes a generic node configuration, which can be used by all nodes within a network, containing consolidated configuration information regardless of the operating system, the generic node configuration including: node property sets; common information containing rules to apply to nodes while in service mode and prior to authorization; and registration information directing the node to a pre-defined registration servers. A method of using a generic endpoint package includes deploying the generic endpoint package having a generic node configuration, which can be used by all nodes within a network, containing consolidated configuration information regardless of the operating system, the generic node configuration including: node property sets; common information containing rules to apply to nodes while in service mode and prior to authorization; and registration information directing the node to a pre-defined registration servers.

Abstract: A cellulosic inclusion-thermoplastic composition that includes cellulosic inclusions and a thermoplastic polyolefin that forms a matrix in which the cellulosic inclusions are dispersed. A maleated polymer and a polar thermoplastic polymer resin of a polyamide or polyester are provided to improve adhesion between the cellulosic inclusions and the thermoplastic polyolefin. The polar thermoplastic polymer resin is characterized by a melting temperature greater than that of the thermoplastic polyolefin. The composition as provided has increased break tensile strength relative to a composition devoid of the polar thermoplastic polymer resin but otherwise is unchanged. The break tensile is measured at 23° Celsius and at an elongation rate of 50 millimeters per minute.
