  • Patent number: 10193879
    Abstract: A method and system for deploying applications. The method includes deploying an application image of an application to a computing device, where the application is accessible using a first uniform resource locator (URL). The method also includes sending an application creation message to an authoritative domain name system (DNS) server to create a record mapping the first URL to a second URL. The first URL is in a first domain and the second URL is in a second domain. The method further includes providing, to the computing device, a digital certificate associated with the application. The method further includes generating certificate data using the digital certificate and sending, to a remote application server, the second URL and certificate data. A client software module may establish a connection to the application on the computing device using the second URL and the certificate data.

  • Patent number: 9906493
    Abstract: A method and system for verifying integrity of computing devices. The method includes providing a first integrity associated with a server executing on a computing device to a management service, and receiving, in response to providing the first integrity measurement, a first mutual attestation value from the management service. The method further includes providing a second integrity associated with a network adaptor executing on a computing device to a management service, and receiving, in response to providing the second integrity measurement, a second mutual attestation value from the management service. The method further includes performing a mutual attestation between the server and the network adaptor using the first mutual attestation value and the second mutual attestation value, and notifying the management service that the mutual attestation has been successfully completed.

  • Patent number: 9686278
    Abstract: A method and system for configuring computing devices. The method includes receiving, by a computing device, a first cache list object from a management service. The method also includes comparing the first cache list object to a second cache list object on the computing device, and based on the comparing, identifying a first object fingerprint that is present in the first cache list object and that is not present in the second cache list object. The method further includes obtaining, from a location that is external to the computing device, a first object corresponding to the first object fingerprint; and updating a configuration of the computing device using the first object.

  • Patent number: 9680824
    Abstract: A method and system for authenticating applications. The method includes receiving, by a service virtual machine (SVM), a secret from a management service. The SVM is executing on a computing device. The method also includes providing, by the SVM, the secret to an application executing on an application virtual machine (AVM). The AVM is executing on the computing device. The method further includes providing, by the application, the secret to a remote application server in order for the remote application server to authenticate the application.

  • Patent number: 9680805
    Abstract: A method and system for key management. The method includes receiving, by a control domain on a server, a request for a tenant key, and obtaining an authorization secret from a management service, where the management service is external to the server. The method further includes, in response to the request, decrypting, after obtaining the authorization secret, an encrypted platform master key to obtain a platform master key, decrypting an encrypted tenant key to obtain the tenant key using the platform master key, and providing the tenant key to an entity that issued the request.

  • Patent number: 9584436
    Abstract: In general, embodiments of the invention relate to a method and system for managing network access for applications. More specifically, embodiments of the invention provide mock Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to the applications, where the applications may use the mock IP addresses to communicate with other systems (e.g., other computing devices, the management service, or any other system that is accessible via the network). Each mock IP address may be associated with one or more policies, where the policies dictate how packets that includes the mock IP address are processed. In one or more embodiments of the invention, the mock IP addresses may be used to maintain a class of service (CoS) between applications executing on the computing devices and an application service provider (ASP).

  • Patent number: 9531715
    Abstract: A method and system for accessing local resources. The method includes intercepting, by a proxy, a request from an application to access a local resource, where the application is executing in an application virtual machine (AVM) on a computing device and where the proxy is executing on a service virtual machine (SVM) on the computing device. The method further includes replacing, by the proxy, a placeholder credential in the request with a local resource credential to obtain a second request. The method also includes sending, by the proxy, the second request to the local resource, receiving, by the proxy, a response to the second request from the local resource, and providing the response to the application.
