Abstract: Device identification scoring systems and methods may be provided that can increase the reliability and security of communications between devices and service providers. Users may select and configure additional identification factors that are unique and convenient for them. These factors, along with additional environmental variables, feed into a trust score computation that weights the trustworthiness of the device context requesting communication with a service provider. Service providers rely on the trust score rather than enforce a specific identification routine themselves. A combination of identification factors selected by the user can be aggregated together to produce a trust score high enough to gain access to a given online service provider. A threshold of identification risk may be required to access a service or account provided by the online service provider.

Abstract: Transactional Lock Elision allows hardware transactions to execute unmodified critical sections protected by the same lock concurrently, by subscribing to the lock and verifying that it is available before committing the transaction. A “lazy subscription” optimization, which delays lock subscription, can potentially cause behavior that cannot occur when the critical sections are executed under the lock. Hardware extensions may provide mechanisms to ensure that lazy subscriptions are safe (e.g., that they result in correct behavior). Prior to executing a critical section transactionally, its lock and subscription code may be identified (e.g., by writing their locations to special registers). Prior to committing the transaction, the thread executing the critical section may verify that the correct lock was correctly subscribed to. If not, or if locations identified by the special registers have been modified, the transaction may be aborted.

Abstract: A method of separating identity IPs for identification of applications from the locator IPs for identifying the route is provided. A virtual service layer (VSL) protocol stack uses the IP addresses assigned by network administrators to the application endpoints to support the TCP/IP stack as the identity IP addresses that are not published to the underlay network for routing. On the other hand, the VSL stack uses the IP addresses assigned by the underlay network to the VSL enabled endpoints and VSL enabled routers as the locator IP addresses for routing packets. The VSL stack formats application flow packets with identity headers as identity packet and encapsulates identity packet with the locator header to route the packet. The separation of the identity and locator identifications are used to eliminate the network middleboxes and provide firewall, load balancing, connectivity, SD-WAN, and WAN-optimization, as a part of the communication protocol.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for secure access management for tools within a secure environment. A virtual file system for a user in memory on a server side in the secure environment is accessed as part of an authenticated user session including a user command instigated by a user. At the virtual file system, an encrypted file stored in the secure environment is obtained, where the file is encrypted using a public key of a user. A read operation at the virtual file system of the encrypted file is intercepted and the encrypted file is sent to a client at a user system external to the secure environment over a secure connection for decryption by a remote cryptography device of the user system using the user's private key. The decrypted file is then received at the virtual file system enabling the user to run the required user command.
