Patent number: 8732796Abstract: Security in an asymmetrical network is addressed. At a security element, a handshake message is received on a path within the asymmetrical network. The handshake message is associated with an attempt to establish a session. A determination is made as to whether there is an entry for the handshake message in a local state table. When there is no entry in the local state table, then an entry is generated in the local state table, a notification of the handshake message is sent to a centralized computing platform that tracks handshake messages received by a plurality of security elements in the asymmetrical network, and the handshake message is allowed to pass along the path. A notification is received from the centralized computing platform that the session associated with the handshake message is allowed, based on associated handshake messages received at the centralized computing platform.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Ezzat Atieh, Mohammed Mohiuddin, Reza Jafari

Patent number: 8379083Abstract: A video surveillance system has an encoder receiving a video signal from a camera and generating real-time sequenced packets for streaming to a remote monitoring location. A transmit buffer is coupled to the encoder for buffering the sequenced packets. A transmit controller transmits an original packet stream comprising the sequenced packets. The transmit controller is responsive to retransmission requests to transmit sequenced packets from the transmit buffer as a retransmission stream. A receive controller is provided at the monitoring location for receiving the original packet stream and detecting missing packets from the original packet stream to transmit corresponding retransmission requests to the transmit controller for the missing packets. A decoder is responsive to the original packet stream to generate a reproduced video signal for viewing at the monitoring location. A recorder stores recorded video responsive to the original packet stream and the retransmission stream.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Reza Jafari, Hung Viet Bui, Shingara Singh Dhanoa

Patent number: 8381301Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media are described for identifying a split-flow communications session occurring over two or more incompatible communications protocols. A data stream governed by a first communications protocol is associated with a device or end device by comparing information in the data packet headers with information in a device database that matches devices with the header characteristics such as an IP address. A second data stream governed by a second incompatible communications protocol is similarly associated with the same target endpoint or device. The two incompatible data streams may then be evaluated as a single split-flow communications session for malicious content, or for other purposes. If malicious content is detected, corrective policies may be implemented on the split-flow communications session to protect the device from the malicious content.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2009Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Clayton B. Wilson, Frederick C. Rogers, Reza Jafari, Hal S. Beech

Patent number: 8347353Abstract: Addressing security in an asymmetrical network. At a centralized database, a handshake message is received from a security element that received the message on a first path. A second handshake message is received from a second security element that received the second message on a second path, where the centralized database tracks handshake messages and associations between the messages and communication sessions. A determination is made that the first message is associated with a session. Another determination is made that the second message is associated with the same session. An association between the second message and the first message is stored in the centralized database, based on the associations of the first message and the second message with the same communication session. A determination that the communication session is allowed is stored in the centralized database, based on the association of the second handshake message to the first handshake message.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Ezzat Atieh, Mohammed Mohiuddin, Reza Jafari
