| 20080235755 | Firewall propagation - Methods and systems for propagating data security policies and rules up a chain of network components, for example, from an end-user device having a firewall, to a network component at the “edge” of the network, such as a so-called “edge” firewall server, from where a policy statement can be transmitted to a service provider, such as an ISP, are described. A device, such as a computer or mobile phone, has, as part of its firewall software, a policy propagation file, that communicates with pre-existing firewall software. The firewall software creates a policy statement upon detecting a triggering event, which is transmitted from the device to the next data security component up the chain, “upstream,” in the network. In some cases this device may be a firewall server or a firewall policy server. The firewall server may combine policy statements from numerous end-user type devices and transmit the policy statement to an external network component, such as an ISP firewall server or similar device. The ISP or other service provider may then use the policy statement to implement date security rules for the devices in the network. In this manner, the firewall operated by the ISP implements rules and policies of a network owner or the owner of a stand-alone device, thereby preventing unwanted traffic from entering the network. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080281953 | Managing network components using USB keys - Devices and methods for managing a communications network include using USB keys to provision and management components in the network by having the network component establish a connection to a network administrator device, such as a laptop, PDA, or desktop workstation. A first USB key is used to provision a network component so that it has the necessary security information to interact with a second USB key, used to enable actual management of the component. Once the component has the security information, the second USB key is inserted and certain callback data are made available to the component. It uses this data to make a “call” or connection to an administrator's device. The callback data may be an IP address of the device, an e-mail address, VoIP data, instant messaging data, dial-up data, and so on. Once the connection, initiated and established by the network component, is made the administrator can begin managing the component. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20100088769 | PREVENTING EXECUTION OF TAMPERED APPLICATION CODE IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM - Methods and systems for preventing an application which has been maliciously or inadvertently tampered with from causing harm to a computer system are described. Application code of the tampered application is inputted into a code analyzer. The code is analyzed and functions within the application code are identified and examined. Multiple profiles are created and each identified function is assigned a profile. A profile may be a description of how a function is intended to operate, that is, the function's expected behavior. Multiple replacement functions are created using a first set of functions, where each function is called by the identified functions and a second set of functions where each function in the second set calls the identified function. Calls between functions are examined and a called function is replaced with a replacement function, such that a call to an original function results in a call to the replacement function. The original function is unaware that it is not getting function calls or that such calls are being directed to a replacement function or stub. A replacement function contains code to ensure that the user space maintains its original appearance. | 04-08-2010 |
