Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for orchestrating server management in a modern IT network. The described techniques may be implemented to manage any number of networked severs, whether local, remote, or both. Server orchestration may leverage a central, cloud-based management system and/or one or more autonomous agents installed on servers with the network. The autonomous agents may each be registered with the supervisory server and may have awareness of one another.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for server-initiated secure sessions are described. A browser application may connect to a portal, where the portal may transmit a command to a server agent to initiate a secure session with an endpoint device. The server agent may be housed in a destination server, and may establish a secure connection with an intermediary server using a secure communication protocol. The secure connection may be made by directing the destination server to open an out-bound connection through a firewall of the destination server. A browser session may be redirected to the intermediary server from the browser application, and the intermediary server may route the browser session traffic to the secure connection.

Abstract: At a security gateway residing within a trusted computer network, a service request is obtained from an external client and is authenticated. In response, one instance of a plurality of available application instances is identified. The instances are hosted on a plurality of hosts having a plurality of firewalls, and the firewalls and the hosts reside within the network. The firewalls have been initially defaulted to block external access to all instances. A corresponding one of the hosts, within the trusted computer network, and corresponding to the identified one of the plurality of available application instances, is instructed to open a corresponding one of the firewalls to a network address corresponding to the external client. The external client is advised of a destination identifier and port corresponding to the opening of the firewall, to facilitate the external client communicating with the corresponding one of the hosts.

Abstract: A method of encryption key provisioning that includes providing, by a quantum computing safe method, a shared secret data to a device and to a security service; using the provided shared secret data to provide a root key; and using the root key for a sequence of stages, wherein each stage includes an operation which converts a start key into a different generated key, and the same stages are carried out in parallel at the device and at the security service; wherein the root key is used as the start key for a first stage, and a generated key produced by each stage, except for the final stage, is used as a start key for a next stage of the sequence; and wherein the generated keys produced by the last stage of the sequence at the device and at the security service are symmetric keys.

Abstract: A fluid path connector assembly for a medical fluid delivery system includes a connector element having a body, a lumen extending through the body, and a pair of flexible legs connected to the body, each of the flexible legs having a flange. The connector assembly further includes a dust cap removably connected to the connector element. The dust cap includes a dust cap body positioned between the flexible legs to enclose the lumen, and an engagement element at a distal end of the dust cap body. The engagement element is in contact with the flanges of the flexible legs to prevent disengagement of the dust cap from the connector element while allowing ready removal of the dust cap by medical personnel. A removable/disconnectable tamper resistant and/or tamper-evident and/or tamper resistant feature connecting the dust cap to the connector element is also disclosed.
