  • Patent number: 12069068
    Abstract: A method for detecting a side attack of a target by a user comprising a step of recording data relating to a so-called sensitive file, the sensitive file being a configuration file of the target; a step of primary connection of the user on a proxy gateway to establish a secondary connection of the proxy gateway on the target; a step of verification of the integrity of the sensitive file, subsequently to the step of secondary connection of the proxy gateway on the target and when the integrity of the sensitive tile is determined as compromised by the step of verification of the integrity of the sensitive file, and a step of detection of a side attack of the target by the user.

  • Patent number: 12047364
    Abstract: A method for connecting an application to a resource by a command, the application being provided for configuring the resource by connecting to the resource by means of a program and configuration parameters, the program implementing a client side of a communication protocol, the method comprising the steps of executing the command when the program is called by the application, the command being interposed between the application and the program; receiving authentication data for accessing the resource, by querying a vault, on the basis of configuration parameters; establishing a connection between the command and the resource by executing the program, into which the authentication data for accessing the resource are input and the configuration parameters retrieved; and establishing a direct connection between the application and the resource.

  • Patent number: 11277500
    Abstract: A standard network protocol layer is integrated in a Web browser by compilation to Webassembly and use of a Websocket. A method for connecting a local client device to a remote computing resource, by establishing a computing session in accordance with a standard protocol includes: executing on the client device a Web browsing application; opening a first tunnel (websocket) with a server GATEWAY, wherein the opening of the first tunnel between the client device and the GATEWAY commands the opening of a network connection with the remote resource.

  • Patent number: 11157610
    Abstract: A method for accessing a secure computer resource by a computer application having no human-machine interaction for inputting authentication information comprises: a) a first initialization step comprising the creation of a temporary cryptographic key consisting of applying a cryptographic process to a plurality of information that is invariant over time and of encrypting, using the thus calculated key, authentication data of an account authorized to access a vault with passwords and b) steps for automatic access by the application to the secure computer resource consisting of creating a temporary cryptographic key consisting of applying a cryptographic process to the plurality of information that is invariant over time, reading the credentials file created during the initialization step and decrypting the credentials file with the temporary cryptographic key calculated in the preceding step, then transferring, to the calling application, the data coming from the computer resource.

  • Patent number: 10594662
    Abstract: The application relates to a method for secure connection from a client computer device to a target computer resource comprising a server, comprising the following steps: the emission of a session-opening request by an application installed on the client station, leading to the creation of a primary session between the client station and the proxy gateway, the request containing either the identifier of the target server or the identifier of the target application; and the opening of a session between the proxy gateway and the server. The request-emission step is implemented by the prior opening of a primary session [RDP] between the client station and the proxy gateway by the transmission of a message containing the identifier of the target server or the identifier of the target application.

  • Patent number: 10498733
    Abstract: A secure method connects to an application run on a server from a client computer device, by a user who does not have the authentication data of the account declared in the application, the account including at least one proxy ID. The disclosure also relates to the application and associated authentication data, implementing a proxy [mandatary gateway] including a memory for recording, for each user declared by a primary account comprising at least one user ID, the list of resource targets C and accounts to which the user has access.
