20090006594 | Method and system for remote manageability of networked computers - A method and system may allow a management server in a first network to communicate via a mediator server with a management module of a computing system in a second network. The mediator server may establish a communication connection to the management module and the data transferred from the management server to the management module may be associated with the communication connection. | 01-01-2009 |
20090070467 | Enabling access to remote entities in access controlled networks - In network access control networks, it may be difficult to provide certain remote accesses such as remote boot or remote storage access. An available network connection established through chipset firmware (e.g. active management technology (AMT)) may be utilized to establish a connection and to enable the remote access. Then as soon the completion of the activity is detected, such as remote booting, then the connection may be immediately terminated to prevent access by improper agents. | 03-12-2009 |
20090083844 | Synchronizing between host and management co-processor for network access control - In network access controlled networks, it is desirable to prevent access to the network by any non-authenticated entities. Access control may be established through a trusted agent that, in some embodiments, may be implemented with a management co-processor. In some cases, active management technology may establish a connection while a host is inactive. Then, after the host becomes active, the host can attempt to use the management co-processor connection without obtaining the necessary authentications. This may be prevented, in some embodiments, by scanning for an active host and, if such an active host is found, blocking the host from using a layer 2 authentication channel unless the host is properly authenticated and has a proper Internet Protocol address. | 03-26-2009 |
20090165099 | PROVISIONING ACTIVE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY (AMT) IN COMPUTER SYSTEMS - Active management technology (AMT) may be provisioned in a client device automatically, which may provide a secure connection between the provisioning server and the client device. The client device comprising the active management technology may support zero-touch provisioning and one-touch provisioning. | 06-25-2009 |
20100275243 | SECURING WAKEUP NETWORK EVENTS - In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides receiving a packet having a wake-up pattern, and waking up if the wake-up pattern corresponds to one of a number of dynamically modifiable passwords on a pattern wake list, each of the dynamically modifiable passwords being based, at least in part, on a seed value | 10-28-2010 |
20110134928 | TRANSMITTING A PACKET - Provided are a method, system, and program for selecting one of a plurality of adapters to use to transmit a packet. A packet is generated by a protocol driver having connection information in a packet header. A determination is made as to whether there is one value in a table for the connection information. The packet and the determined value are forwarded to a network driver in response to determining that the table has one value for the connection information. The network driver uses the forwarded value to determine one of a plurality of adapters to use to transmit the packet over a network. | 06-09-2011 |
20110246633 | PROXY DETECTION BY SERVICE PROCESSOR - Embodiments provide methods, apparatus, and systems that enable an embedded processor to detect and configure one or more network access settings. The network access settings may enable the embedded processor to communicate over a network, via out-of-band messages, with a management server or service. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed. | 10-06-2011 |
20120106557 | DYNAMIC NETWORK IDENTITY ARCHITECTURE - In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides receiving indication of an event at a platform operating in shared address mode, the platform having an auxiliary entity, in response to the indication of the event, switching operation of the platform to multi address mode by acquiring a second address, and assigning the second address to the auxiliary entity, and receiving one or more packets directed to the second address. | 05-03-2012 |
20120272340 | SECURING WAKEUP NETWORK EVENTS - In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides receiving a packet having a wake-up pattern, and waking up if the wake-up pattern corresponds to one of a number of dynamically modifiable passwords on a pattern wake list, each of the dynamically modifiable passwords being based, at least in part, on a seed value | 10-25-2012 |
20140096179 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING SECURE COMMUNICATIONS - A system establishes secure communications between first and second electronic devices. The first device stores secured content to be accessed by second device based on identification information of the first device. The identification information of the first device may be manually input into the second device, and the second device may perform an initial pairing operation with the first device based on this manually entered information. The identification information stored from initial pairing may allow secure automatic pairing. | 04-03-2014 |
20140173709 | SECURE USER ATTESTATION AND AUTHENTICATION TO A REMOTE SERVER - Secure authentication to a remote application operating on a remote server across a network includes detecting a login associated with the remote application; and in response to the detected login, offloading the login process to an isolated execution environment configured to receive a login request message from the browser application; identify confidential information stored in the secure memory storage and associated with the remote application; populate the login request message with the identified confidential data; transmit the populated login request message to the remote application; receive a login response message from the remote application upon successful login; and transmit the login response message to the browser application, wherein only the isolated execution environment can read and write to the secure memory storage. | 06-19-2014 |
20140304426 | ROUTING OF MESSAGES - A method to provide transfer of data without the use of a network from an application program to an embedded device. A routing service establishes a communication channel without the use of a local area network. The routing service then manages the control of this communication channel for the transfer of data and closes the channel in an appropriate period. | 10-09-2014 |
