Patent number: 8650390Abstract: Methods and systems for a flexible, scalable hardware and software platform that allows a managed security service provider to easily provide security services to multiple customers is provided. According to one embodiment, a request to establish an IP connection between two locations of a subscriber is received at a service management system (SMS) of the service provider. A tunnel is established between service processing switches coupled in communication through a public network. First and second packet routing nodes within the service processing switches are associated with the first and second locations, respectively. An encryption configuration decision is bound with a routing configuration of the packet routing nodes, by, when the request is to establish a secure IP connection, configuring, the packet routing nodes to cause all packets transmitted to the other location to be encrypted and to cause all packets received from the other location to be decrypted.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2012Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Chih-Tiang Sun, Kiho Yum, Abraham R.

Patent number: 8250357Abstract: A flexible, scalable hardware and software platform that allows a service provider to easily provide internet services, virtual private network services, firewall services, etc., to a plurality of customers. One aspect provides a method and system for delivering security services. This includes connecting a plurality of processors in a ring configuration within a first processing system, establishing a secure connection between the processors in the ring configuration across an internet protocol (IP) connection to a second processing system to form a tunnel, and providing both router services and host services for a customer using the plurality of processors in the ring configuration and using the second processing system. A secure communications tunnel is formed by routing all packets for the tunnel through an encrypting router at the sending end to obtain encrypted packets, and routing the encrypted packets through a decrypting router at the receiving end of an IP connection.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2001Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Chih-Tang Sun, Kiho Yum, Abraham R.

Patent number: 5541911Abstract: Network traffic from a central device across a communication link to a remote device is controlled based upon central traffic management resources in the central device. The central traffic management resources are coupled to a communication link and monitor data packets received across the communication link to learn characteristics of the remote network. Based on the learned characteristics, traffic management messages are generated in the central traffic management resources. These messages are forwarded to an interface device on the remote network, where traffic on the communication link is controlled in response to the traffic management messages. Thus, the remote interface is configured automatically by central traffic management resources running in the central device without human intervention at the remote network. The traffic management messages manage traffic across a communication link of two types.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1994Date of Patent: July 30, 1996Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: Chandrasekharan Nilakantan, Kiho Yum, Ta-Sheng Lin
