  • Method and apparatus for supporting cryptographic-related activities in a public key infrastructure
    Patent number: 8826000
    Abstract: In a node (110) communicating with other nodes in a network (150), a system and method for performing cryptographic-related functions is provided. The node (110) receives and transmits inputs and outputs requiring cryptographic-related processing. When cryptographic processing is required, the node (110) transmits a predefined message to a cryptographic processing component in the node (110) that then performs the desired cryptographic-related processing.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for testing denial of service attacks
    Patent number: 8793360
    Abstract: A system (130) for monitoring a denial of service attack upon a target network resource includes a memory (210) and a processor (205). The memory (210) stores instructions. The processor (205) executes the instructions in the memory (210) to receive one of a plurality of denial of service attack profiles, each profile identifying the target network resource and to execute a denial of service attack against the target network resource in accordance with the received profile. The processor (205) further executes the instructions in the memory (210) to scan one or more ports of the target network resource to determine an effect of the executed denial of service attack.
