  • Patent number: 11962635
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamically switching between synchronous and asynchronous communication channels. A communication request can be received from an application, and a request identifier can be generated for the communication request. The communication request can be transmitted to an edge server application via a first communication channel. The first communication channel can be selected from a plurality of communication channels based at least in part on a policy. In an instance in which a condition specified by the policy is detected in the transmission of the communication request, a second communication channel can be selected from the plurality of communication channels. The communication request can be transmitted to the edge server application using the second communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20240061731
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to configuring a legacy application or service with a reconfigurable cryptographic provider capable of leveraging many different cryptographic algorithms, protocols or functions. The application or service can be configured with the reconfigurable cryptographic provider by redirecting cryptographic API calls intended for a linked static shared cryptographic library or provider to a cryptographic adapter configured to emulate responses provided by the linked static shared cryptographic library. A cryptographic adapter is also described and is configured to generate abstracted versions of the cryptographic API calls and pass them on to the reconfigurable cryptographic provider, which selects and implements an appropriate cipher solution based on the abstracted cryptographic API calls.

  • Publication number: 20230104102
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to configuring an application or service with reconfigurable cryptographic features taking the form of cryptographic algorithms, protocols or functions. The application or service can be configured with a cryptographic provider configured to receive abstracted cryptographic API calls and retrieve specific cryptographic features based on established cryptographic policies. This configuration allows for rapid updates to the cryptographic framework and for the cryptographic framework to be managed remotely in enterprise environments.

  • Publication number: 20230109647
    Abstract: This relates generally to configuring and automatically selecting a cipher solution for secure communication. An example method includes, at an electronic device, receiving a request initiated by a requestor for one or more cryptographic operations, determining contextual information associated with the requestor, selecting a cipher solution for processing the request based on the contextual information and a policy engine, and processing the request for the one or more cryptographic operations by executing one or more cryptographic algorithms in accordance with the selected cipher solution.

  • Publication number: 20230107763
    Abstract: This relates generally to protecting adjustable cipher solutions using trusted execution mechanisms. An example method includes, at one or more electronic devices, receiving a request for configuring a cipher solution for one or more cryptographic operations, retrieving one or more cryptographic policies from a first module protected by a secure enclave within a trusted execution environment, accessing one or more libraries in accordance with the one or more cryptographic policies, attesting the one or more libraries by verifying attestation data associated with the one or more libraries within a second module protected by the secure enclave of the trusted execution environment, and configuring the cipher solution for the electronic device based on attesting the one or more libraries.
