  • Publication number: 20190245892
    Abstract: The present application is directed a computer-implemented method for enhancing security and preventing cyber-attacks on a network. The method includes a step of receiving, from a user equipment on the network, information including a source IP address and a destination IP address. The method also includes a step of selecting a first VPN server from a VPN service provider based upon a traffic-type of the user equipment. The method also includes a step of creating, via a graphical user interface, a policy to prevent cyber-attacks such that traffic associated with the information of the user equipment is routed to the first VPN server. The method further includes a step of sending the traffic of the user equipment to the VPN server. The method even further includes a step of provisioning the first VPN server to last a predetermined amount of time base on the created policy.

  • Publication number: 20170359311
    Abstract: The present application is directed a computer-implemented method for for managing traffic in a network. The method includes a step of receiving, from a user on the network, a request to access the internet. The method also includes a step of determining information of the user based upon the request. The information includes a security privilege of the user in the network. The method also includes a step of reviewing selection criteria of plural, dynamic, virtual private network (VPN) cloud servers in the network. The method also includes a step of matching the determined information of the user with the selection criteria. Further, the method includes a step of sending traffic of the user to one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers based upon the matching step. The application is also directed to a system for securing web traffic on a network including a policy controller and router.

  • Publication number: 20170359312
    Abstract: The present application is directed a computer-implemented method for enhancing security. The method includes a step of sending, from a VPN service provider, a request to a cloud provider to create a dynamic server on a cloud. Then, the VPN service provider receives a notification from the cloud provider that the requested server is available on the cloud. Subsequently, the VPN service provider embeds the dynamic server with a VPN service. Further, the VPN service provider sends a credential of the dynamic server to an entity on the network. The application is also directed to system for enhancing security on a cloud server.

  • Patent number: 8440867
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing ethanol, the method comprising establishing an atmosphere containing methanol forming catalyst and ethanol forming catalyst; injecting syngas into the atmosphere at a temperature and for a time sufficient to produce methanol; and contacting the produced methanol with additional syngas at a temperature and for a time sufficient to produce ethanol. The invention also provides an integrated system for producing methanol and ethanol from syngas, the system comprising an atmosphere isolated from the ambient environment; a first catalyst to produce methanol from syngas wherein the first catalyst resides in the atmosphere; a second catalyst to product ethanol from methanol and syngas, wherein the second catalyst resides in the atmosphere; a conduit for introducing syngas to the atmosphere; and a device for removing ethanol from the atmosphere. The exothermicity of the method and system obviates the need for input of additional heat from outside the atmosphere.
