Abstract: Systems and methods to securely send or write data to a cloud storage or server. In one embodiment, a method includes: establishing a connection to a client using a client-side transport protocol; receiving, over the connection, data from the first client; decrypting, using a client session key, the received data to provide first decrypted data; encrypting the first decrypted data using a stored payload key (that is associated with the client) to provide first encrypted data; encrypting, using a cloud session key, the first encrypted data using a remote-side transport protocol to provide second encrypted data; and sending the second encrypted data to the cloud storage or server.

Abstract: Systems and methods to send or write data or file objects to a remote cloud storage or data server using an encryption gateway. In one embodiment, a communication system includes: an encryption gateway configured to receive TLS (or an equivalent security) encrypted data in a payload from a client application, to terminate the client TLS connection, and to extract the payload and encrypt the payload data with keys from the key manager. The encryption gateway establishes a TLS connection and inserts the encrypted-authenticated data into the TLS payload and sends or writes the TLS encrypted data to a remote cloud storage or data server for storage. The system further includes a key manager configured to provide at least one key to the encryption gateway for encryption of the data in the payload.

Abstract: A combination firmware and hardware cryptographic core architecture is provided for encrypting, decrypting and authenticating data. The core provides flexibility to change and add new cryptographic protocols, while providing increased performance by loading new firmware into a microcontroller that programs behavior of various components in the core. The core combines a microcontroller programmable by firmware, and flexible aligner, insertion and removal controllers programmed by the microcontroller that process, manage and manipulate an incoming data stream as it moves through the core. The firmware may be reprogrammed upon an enhancement or change to a protocol while still realizing performance benefits of the hardware. Reprogramming the microcontroller allows it to change the way the aligner, insertion and removal controllers manipulate the data stream as it enters various components.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a flow of data from a network interface controller (NIC) to a host processor coupled to the NIC. Data such as IP packets are received by the NIC and may be transmitted to the host processor for further processing such as firewall processing. The NIC is in communication with the host processor using, for example, a software driver running on the host processor. The NIC may monitor the processing load on the host processor as it handles packet data received from the NIC. As the processing load increases, the NIC may begin to throttle the quantity of packets being sent to the host processor in order to avoid overloading the host processor. The throttling may be governed by a heuristic throttling function.
