20100034381 | SECURE RESOURCE NAME RESOLUTION USING A CACHE - Techniques for securing name resolution technologies and for ensuring that name resolution technologies can function in modern networks that have a plurality of overlay networks accessible via a single network interface. In accordance with some of the principles described herein, a set of resolution parameters may be implemented by a user to be used during a name resolution process. In some implementations, when an identifier is obtained for a network resource, the identifier may be stored in a cache with resolution parameters that were used in obtaining the identifier. When a new name resolution request is received, the cache may be examined to determine whether a corresponding second identifier is in the cache, and whether resolution parameters used to retrieve the second identifier in the cache match the resolution parameters for the new resolution request. If so, the second identifier may be returned from the cache. | 02-11-2010 |
20100036959 | SECURE RESOURCE NAME RESOLUTION - Techniques for securing name resolution technologies and for ensuring that name resolution technologies can function in modern networks that have a plurality of overlay networks accessible via a single network interface. In accordance with some of the principles described herein, a set of resolution parameters may be implemented by a user, such as an end user or an administrator, to be used during a name resolution process for securing the process and/or for conducting the process in an overlay network. In some implementations, the set of resolution parameters may be maintained as a table of rules, and used to govern name resolution processes. For example, resolution parameters may be created that govern a DNSSEC session, or that govern how to communicate with networks implemented with Microsoft's Direct Access overlay technologies, or that govern communications using any other networking technology. | 02-11-2010 |
20100107240 | NETWORK LOCATION DETERMINATION FOR DIRECT ACCESS NETWORKS - A client computer that supports different behaviors when connected to a private network behind a network firewall than when outside the network firewall and connected indirectly through an access device. The client computer is configured to attempt communication with a device on the network. Based on the response, the client computer can determine that it is behind the network firewall, and therefore can operate with less restrictive security or settings for other parameters appropriate for when the client is directly connected to the network. Alternatively, the client computer may determine that it is indirectly connected to the network through the Internet or other outside network, and therefore, because it is outside the private network firewall, should operate with more restrictive security or settings of other parameters more appropriate for use in that network location. The described approach operates even if the remote client computer has a direct connection to the network that enables it to authenticate with a domain controller. | 04-29-2010 |
