Methods And Systems For Distributed Security Processing
US Patent:
2010003, Feb 4, 2010
Filed:
Dec 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/961971
Inventors:
Jeffrey T. Black - Boston MA, US
Steve Zhou - Bedford MA, US
Steve Zhou - Bedford MA, US
Assignee:
Certeon, Inc. - Burlington MA
International Classification:
H04L 29/06, G06F 15/16
US Classification:
726 10, 709217, 726 6, 726 12
Abstract:
Methods and systems for processing information that is secured in transit between communicating computers utilizing a security protocol. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, processing with respect to the security protocol is performed by an intermediate network device located remotely from a secure data center, while maintaining the security of persistent credentials such as passwords and private cryptographic keys. The invention may be employed in conjunction with beneficial networking functions such as acceleration, traffic management and monitoring, content filtering, and the like, allowing such functions to be performed on secured traffic. The invention allows the remotely located network device to perform security protocol processing on behalf of a computer without having direct access to the persistent credentials of that computer, thereby improving overall system security.
Synchronization Of Historical Data Without Retransmission
US Patent:
2007007, Mar 29, 2007
Filed:
Jul 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/491787
Inventors:
Jeffrey Black - Boston MA, US
Myron Zimmerman - Needham MA, US
Myron Zimmerman - Needham MA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/56, H04J 3/18
US Classification:
370389000, 370477000
Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present invention, a first node receives acknowledgement indications from a second node describing which previously processed and transmitted data have been successfully received and processed by the second node. In response to these indications, the first node makes the corresponding data in its history buffer available for subsequent processing. In this way, the first node utilizes for processing that data which also available to the second node for subsequent processing, providing consistent use of evolving historical data without the need for a reliable protocol between nodes. In further embodiments, a packet is processed at a first node utilizing stored data relating to previously-processed packets and then transmitted from the first node to a second node. The transmitted packet is subsequently processed at the second node utilizing stored data relating to packets previously processed at the second node.
Methods And Apparatus For Accelerating Web Browser Caching
US Patent:
2008023, Sep 25, 2008
Filed:
Nov 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/944127
Inventors:
Kaykhosrow Parsi - Reading MA, US
Jeffrey T. Black - Boston MA, US
Jeffrey T. Black - Boston MA, US
Assignee:
Certeon, Inc. - Burlington MA
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709203
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for processing intercepted requests and responses related to document retrieval between client and server computers. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, document metadata from server responses are inspected and stored in a database by an acceleration device in the network path between client and server computers. The device inspects freshness verification requests sent from client to server computers and, based on information stored in its database, sends “not modified” responses back to the client computers without involving the server computers, thereby reducing network and server loads and improving response time. In further embodiments the device may maintain its database by sending document information requests to server computers and processing their subsequent responses.
Distributed Ssl Processing
US Patent:

International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
726014000
Abstract:
Methods and systems for communicating data between a server and a remote client computer through a secure socket layer (“SSL”). In accordance with the present invention, server-side SSL functions are performed by a network device located remotely from a secure data center, while maintaining the secure use of centralized certificates and their associated private keys. The invention may be employed in conjunction with acceleration functions operating within coordinated network devices, facilitating acceleration of overall SSL traffic. The invention improves on the prior art by allowing the remotely located acceleration device to use the certificate and private key of the target application server, but without compromising the security of the server's private key.
