  • Publication number: 20210294891
    Abstract: Virtual machines in a network may be isolated by encrypting transmissions between the virtual machines with keys possessed only by an intended recipient. Within a network, the virtual machines may be logically organized into a number of community-of-interest (COI) groups. Each COI may use an encryption key to secure communications within the COI, such that only other virtual machines in the COI may decrypt the message. Remote devices may gain access to virtual machines in a network through a virtual device relay. The virtual device relay receives data from the remote device, such as a tablet or cellular phone, and forwards the data to one of the virtual machines, when the virtual device relay shares a COI with the destination virtual machine.

  • Publication number: 20120084545
    Abstract: A secure boot device, method, and system for securely connecting a client computer having a secure boot device to a remote server over a communications network are disclosed. The secure boot device includes a housing having an integrated communication interface, a controller located within the housing and operatively connected to the communication interface, and a memory communicatively connected to the programmable circuit and the communication interface. The memory securely stores program instructions including a boot module, a client terminal process module, an operating system module, and a secure communications interface module. The secure communications interface module includes program instructions for communicating split and encrypted data communicated between a computing system to which the communication interface is connected and a remote computing system.

  • Publication number: 20120084544
    Abstract: Methods and systems for securely connecting a client computer having a secure boot device to a remote server over a communications network are disclosed. One method includes booting a client computer from a trusted set of processing modules stored in the secure boot device, verifying the contents of the trusted set of processing modules prior to execution of these processing modules, and providing authentication information from data stored upon the secure boot device to an authentication server to establish a secure connection to the remote server. The method also includes establishing the secure connection with the remote server using encryption keys stored on the secure boot device, and transferring data between the client computer and the remote server over the secure connection to perform transactions initiated by a user of the client computer. In the disclosed method, the remote server utilizes encryption keys associated with a unique ID from the secure boot device.
