  • Patent number: 10601780
    Abstract: A host computer supports a virtual guest system running thereon. The host system has a firewall that prevents it from communicating directly with the Internet, except with predetermined trusted sites. The virtual guest runs on a hypervisor, and the virtual guest comprises primarily a browser program that is allowed to contact the Internet freely via an Internet access connection that is completely separate from the host computer connection, such as a dedicated network termination point with its specific Internet IP address, or by tunneling through the host machine architecture to reach the Internet without exposing the host system. The virtual guest system is separated and completely isolated by an internal firewall from the host, and the guest cannot access any of the resources of the host computer, except that the guest can initiate cut, copy and paste operations that reach the host, and the guest can also request print of documents.

  • Patent number: 10558798
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for sandbox based internet isolation system in a trusted network. A networked computer system may include a trusted local area network (LAN) and at least one host computer system connected to the trusted LAN. The host computer system may include a host-based firewall, an operating system, a first memory space, and a second memory space. The host-based firewall may be configured to prevent unauthorized communication between the host computer system and one or more other devices on the trusted LAN. The second memory space may be configured to enable storage and/or operation of one or more applications and/or processes associated with a sandboxed computing environment. The host computer system may include a sandbox firewall that enforces a separation of the first and second memory spaces.

  • Patent number: 10554475
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for a sandbox based internet isolation in an untrusted network. A host computer system may include a host-based firewall, an operating system, a first memory space, and a second memory space. The host-based firewall may be configured to prevent unauthorized communication between the trusted host computer system and one or more other devices on an untrusted LAN and/or the Internet. The second memory space may be configured to enable storage and/or operation of one or more applications and/or processes associated with a sandboxed computing environment. The host computer system may include a sandbox firewall that enforces separation of the first and second memory spaces.
