  • Patent number: 11962503
    Abstract: An edge synchronization platform that facilitates mesh network routing via dynamic routing tables is disclosed. A node in the mesh network obtains a network communication. The node performs a wrapping operation on the network communication to generate a wrapped data packet. The wrapped data packet includes a destination indicator. The node identifies a recipient node for the wrapped data packet using a dynamic routing table. The node then sends the wrapped data packet to the recipient node.

  • Patent number: 11949602
    Abstract: An endpoint group (EPG) can be stretched between the sites so that endpoints at different sites can be assigned to the same stretched EPG. Because the sites can use different bridge domains when establishing the stretched EPGs, the first time a site transmits a packet to an endpoint in a different site, the site learns or discovers a path to the destination endpoint. The site can use BGP to identify the site with the host and use a multicast tunnel to reach the site. A unicast tunnel can be used to transmit future packets to the destination endpoint. Additionally, a stretched EPG can be segmented to form a micro-stretched EPG. Filtering criteria can be used to identify a subset of the endpoints in the stretched EPG that are then assigned to the micro-stretched EPG, which can have different policies than the stretched EPG.

    Abstract: Virtual private network (VPN) service provider infrastructure (SPI) receives a request to access a VPN from a client device. The VPN SPI selects an Internet Protocol (IP) address for access to the VPN by the client device from a pool of IP addresses. The VPN SPI provides access to the VPN for the client device via the IP address. The VPN SPI receives one or more handshake notifications from the client device. The VPN SPI determines that a threshold time period has passed since a latest-in-time handshake notification of the one or more handshake notifications. The VPN SPI disconnects the client device from the VPN in response to determining that the threshold time period has passed. The VPN SPI adds the IP address to the pool of IP addresses in response to disconnecting the client device from the VPN.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for standard compliant collection of sensitive data during a communication session. A standard compliant data collection system is used to provide the standard compliant collection of sensitive data. For example, in response to receiving an indication that a user is to provide sensitive data during an active communication session between the user and an agent, a standard compliant data collection mode is invoked. As a result, communication within the active communication session is routed between the user and the standard compliant data collection system via a secure connection, during which sensitive data is collected in a standard compliant manner. Once collection of the user's sensitive data has been completed, the standard compliant data collection mode is ended, and communication within the active communication session is routed between the user and the agent.

Each remote client maintains one or more UDP/IP+DTLS communication channels to a single member of the gateway group. Gateway servers belonging to the gateway group form some interconnection topology linking each gateway server to each other gateway server, whereby each gateway server maintains a communication channel with every other gateway server in the gateway group. Through the links between gateway servers, a remote client may access any application provided by any gateway server within the gateway group regardless of which gateway server it is connected to, which serves to cloak its communication patterns.

  • Patent number: 11556364
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for enabling public key infrastructure (PKI) in the generic could environment and the network function virtualization (NFV) environment. A host device may receive, from an orchestrator of a computer network environment, an indication of a workload to be executed by a virtual machine (VM) hosted on the host device, where the indication includes an identifier of the workload. The VM may transmit a request for a certificate to a hardware security module associated with the host device including the identifier of the workload. After transmitting the request for the certificate, the VM may receive the requested certificate from the HSM. In some cases, the VM may determine a private key associated with the workload and include the private key within the request for the certificate. Additionally or alternatively, the HSM may determine the private key. Here, the HSM may include the private key within the certificate.

  • Patent number: 11558184
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, devices and methods for opening a connection in a gateway of a cloud based network for a client device connected via two different network links to the gateway and to a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) controller of a cloud based network. The SDP controller may receive a request from a client device to connect to a gateway of the cloud based network, generate a one-time SPA key for the client device (after authenticated), transmit the SPA key to the gateway, and transmit, via the first network link, the SPA key to the client device. The client device may transmit the SPA key to the gateway via the second network link and the gateway may be configured to open a connection for the client device via the second network link in case the SPA key is valid.

  • Patent number: 11546225
    Abstract: A system and method for network planning with certain guarantees is disclosed. The system receives data characterizing various aspects of a backbone network, such as the nodes of the backbone network, how the nodes are connected by network links, the maximum available capacities of the network assets, network costs, and network asset reliability information. The system also receives data characterizing the requirements of different data communications, or flows, within the backbone network. For example, the backbone network may need to provide a flow a minimum amount of bandwidth or throughput, and the flow may have a minimum required uptime or availability. Based on the network data and flow data, the system generates a network plan that describes how capacity should be provided by different components of the network in a manner that guarantees satisfying flow requirements while balancing other considerations, such as network costs.

  • Patent number: 11514447
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to transaction authorization. In some embodiments, a server computer system receives and caches browsing information for a device of a user, where the browsing information relates to a transaction service. The server computer system may then receive a request to authorize one or more transactions via the transaction service. The server computer system may evaluate the cached browsing information to determine whether the user is attempting to perform multiple concurrent transactions via the transaction service. Based on the evaluating, the server computer system may determine whether to authorize the one or more transactions. In some embodiments, the disclosed techniques may advantageously prevent or reduce authorization of duplicate transactions that are concurrently attempted by a user.

These mechanisms also receive a DNS request from a second device of the user devices, modify the DNS request to request meta information corresponding to a domain identified in the DNS request, and send the DNS request to a DNS server. The mechanisms further receive a response to the DNS request, wherein the response includes the meta information, determine that communications for the second device are not to be tunneled based at least in part on the meta information, and cause the communications for the first device to be tunneled and the communications for the second device to not be tunneled.

  • Patent number: 11470048
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing on-demand virtual private environments (VPEs) to serverless code executions. Each VPE can represent a logical isolated network environment. On receiving a request to execute code, an on-demand code execution system can generate a VPE for the code and provision the VPE with network endpoints and gateways that provide access to network services and locations that the code is permitted to access, which services and locations can be identified based on permissions for the code. The on-demand code execution system can then execute the code within an execution environment attached to the VPE, such that network transmissions caused by the code are subject to network-level enforcement of the permissions for the code.
