  • Publication number: 20130061311
    Abstract: Security system for cloud computing that will improve the security of users' authentications to cloud data and resources. User authentication to cloud resources requires analyzing confidence in the hardware used to transmit the authentication for access to the cloud data and/or resource. User authentication can be transmitted after the user confirms administrative rights and/or physical security control over the hardware used to transmit the authentication for access to the cloud data and/or resource. The hardware used to access the cloud data and/or resource can be analyzed for malicious code before the user authentication is transmitted. The authentication can be provided on a hardware token, and the system can execute on the hardware token to analyze hardware confidence and thereafter transmit the user authentication.

  • Publication number: 20130061310
    Abstract: A system, method, and server improving the security of accessing Internetworked computer resources, especially over public access connections, without requiring additional servers from either the resource provider or the authenticating user. User authentications are transmitted over data access connections over which users do not have administrative rights and/or physical security control. A resource request which includes user authentications can be encrypted on a user computer and transmitted over the internet or other data network over which the user has no administrative access or physical control. A security server receives the encrypted resource request, decrypts it, and forwards the resource request to a cloud computing resource.
