Abstract: A technique for testing applications for vulnerabilities that may be as a result of loosely defined criteria and restrictions associated with interfacing to the applications. Interfaces associated with an application to be tested are identified. The interfaces may include the names of services provided by the application as well as parameters that are passed to the services. One or more mutant requests containing one or more mutations are then generated based on the identified interfaces. The application is then attacked by forwarding the mutant requests to the application. Vulnerabilities of the application that were exposed as a result of the attack are then detected.

Abstract: A method scans SOAP and/or XML messages over TCP/IP and performs detection, monitoring, validation, and/or prevention from a monitoring, compliance, security, or integrity perspective. The method achieves these goals through a combination of scanning SOAP and/or XML non-intrusively, without reliance on Web Service Definition Language (WSDL), and providing external enforcement. The combination of non-intrusiveness, WSDL-blindness, and external enforcement techniques truly provides a scalable and reliable deployment of Web Services at the enterprise level.

Abstract: A networking appliance having a Java proxy engine that transparently offloads security functions into a cryptographic accelerator, thereby enabling rapid prototyping and platform independence, while increasing the speed of cryptographic and other security functions.

Abstract: A network appliance that runs both C and Java integrated software to provide a flexible architecture for rapid prototyping of XML security functionality, including SSL acceleration, XML encryption, XML decryption, XML signature, and XML verification, while the network appliance continues to provide high-speed performance.
