  • Patent number: 11516260
    Abstract: Techniques for utilizing an enterprise traffic interception service (TIS) to enforce policies that mandate how clients access software as a service (SaaS) offered by service providers and selectively intercept enterprise network traffic utilizing a domain name service (DNS) and a single sign-on (SSO) service on a per-client per-service basis. The TIS may include a DNS server, an identity provider service, a TLS inspecting proxy, and/or a policy server. The DNS server may handle requests to resolve an address of a service, and identify a policy, stored in the policy server, to redirect the client based on the identity of the client and the service. The identity provider service may later query the policy server during client authorization for the service to verify that the client request is in line with the policy and allow or deny access to the service.

  • Patent number: 10902099
    Abstract: A method for generating debuggable obfuscated script includes embedding into a Web page, a query to a data store of a client for a key disposed within fixed storage of the client, further embedding into the Web page both an encrypted network reference to an un-obfuscated, clear form of a script, the encrypted network reference being decryptable with the key, and also an un-encrypted reference to an obfuscated form of the script and yet further embedding into the Web page, a selection directive selecting and decrypting the encrypted network reference to retrieve the un-obfuscated form upon loading the Web page on the condition that the key is found in the fixed storage, but otherwise selecting the un-encrypted reference to retrieve the obfuscated form. The method additionally includes serving the Web page to the client.

  • Patent number: 10873469
    Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus including: a destination setting unit configured to set a destination of an issuance request for an electronic certificate of a public key; a transmitting unit configured to transmit the issuance request to the destination at a time specified by a user; and an acquiring unit configured to acquire, from an external apparatus that is the destination, the electronic certificate that is issued on the basis of the issuance request transmitted to the destination. The information processing apparatus further includes a display control unit configured to display a setting screen on a display unit, the setting screen being a screen for receiving a setting of the destination. The display control unit prevents the setting screen from being displayed while the setting for transmitting the issuance request at the time specified by the user is in an enable state.

  • Patent number: 10846381
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a determination unit, a first acquisition unit, and a controller. The determination unit receives, from a first terminal apparatus, a request for use issued to a document management apparatus and specifies an authentication mode necessary for the use. The first acquisition unit acquires information indicating an authentication mode supported by the first terminal apparatus. The controller performs, in a case where the authentication mode indicated by the acquired information does not match the specified authentication mode, control to output to the first terminal apparatus information on a second terminal apparatus that supports the specified authentication mode.

  • Patent number: 10841754
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a verification code obtaining method. In one example method, a verification code obtaining request is sent by an application to a server. The application is installed on a terminal. Applications installed on the terminal further include an input method application and a Short Message Service (SMS) message application. An SMS message that includes a verification code and that is sent by the server is received by the SMS message application. The verification code in the SMS message is read by the input method application. The terminal does not allow an application other than the input method application and the SMS message application to read an SMS message in the terminal.

  • Patent number: 10798779
    Abstract: Multicast messaging may be managed in a machine-to-machine/Internet of things context, such as a CoAP network, via the inclusion of server selection criterion in multicast request messages and/or resource directory registration management. Server selection criteria may be explicit or implicit. An explicit criterion may be expressed, for example, as an IP address, a server identifier relative to a group context, or a Bloom filter. An implicit criterion may, for example, relate to the context of the request or the requestor, and include such information as data accuracy, data type, application, operating system, network location, geolocation, resource creation time, and resource update time. Server selection criteria may be maintained by a resource directory and/or via a user interface.
