  • Systems and methods for automated configuration of secure web site publishing
    Patent number: 7788495
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods to automatically install and trust a self-signed (e.g., untrusted) web site certificate on one or more web clients local to the network. In addition, the systems and methods provide for automatic installation of the self-signed certificate and/or a signed (e.g., trusted) certificate on a web server, and automatic configuration to enable an authentication and/or encryption mechanism (e.g., SSL encryption) with at least a portion of the web site. Conventionally, certificate installation, configuration and trusting are achieved manually, which can be time consuming and prone to errors such as trusting a fictitious certificate, for example. The systems and methods of the present invention provide a novel approach to mitigate manual web site certificate installation (e.g., trusted and untrusted) and trusting, web client interruption via untrusted web site warning notifications, and domain web site redirection to a fictitious web site.

  • Automatic discovery and configuration of external network devices
    Patent number: 7418486
    Abstract: An improved system and method for discovering and configuring secure network topologies responds to existing networking environments and encompasses the dynamic detection and configuration of an appropriate hardware or software solution. In an embodiment of the invention, a broadcast mechanism is used to provide hardware device discovery while application programming interfaces provide discovery of software firewalls. In a further embodiment, a polling technique is used to ensure that the configuration of a gateway device does not change, endangering the protected network.
