Abstract: A computerized method for providing network policy-based routing of a data flow is described. After obtaining attributes associated with an incoming data flow, a first gateway is configured to determine one or more network policies based on the attributes associated with the incoming data flow and assign a classification identifier based on the one or more network policies. The classification identifier is configured to influence routing paths through at least one cloud network, where the classification identifier is encapsulated into content of the incoming data flow to generate a classified data flow for routing from a source to a destination through the at least one cloud network.

Abstract: A method for expiring tokens includes obtaining a list of valid key identifications (IDs) for at least one valid cryptographic key configured to sign authentication tokens. The method also includes receiving an authentication token from a client authenticating and authorizing the client to access a resource and comprising an ID of a cryptographic key used to sign the authentication token. The method also includes determining whether the cryptographic key used to sign the authentication token is valid based on the list of valid key IDs for the at least one valid cryptographic key. When the cryptographic key used to sign the authentication token is valid, the method includes allowing the client access to the resource.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing and management virtual networks is disclosed. A method includes receiving a network packet arriving at a first network interface of a first node of an underlying network, communicating at least the packet and an identifier of the first network interface to a decision engine, determining how the packet should be processed based on a simulation by the decision engine of a traversal of a virtual network topology including a plurality of virtual network devices, wherein the decision engine communicates with a shared database accessible from the underlying network that stores the virtual network topology and virtual device configurations for the plurality of virtual network devices; and processing the packet based upon the simulation.
