| 20120002813 | MULTI-SERVICE VPN NETWORK CLIENT FOR MOBILE DEVICE - An integrated, multi-service network client for cellular mobile devices is described. The multi-service network client can be deployed as a single software package on cellular mobile network devices to provide integrated services including secure enterprise virtual private network (VPN) connectivity, acceleration, security management including monitored and enforced endpoint compliance, and collaboration services. Once installed on the cellular mobile device, the multi-service client integrates with an operating system of the device to provide a single entry point for user authentication for secure enterprise connectivity, endpoint security services including endpoint compliance with respect to anti-virus and spyware software, and comprehensive integrity checks. That is, the multi-service client provides a common user interface to the integrated services, and provides a VPN handler that interfaces with the operating system to provide an entry point for network traffic to which the integrated services can be seamlessly applied. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120002814 | VPN NETWORK CLIENT FOR MOBILE DEVICE HAVING DYNAMICALLY CONSTRUCTED DISPLAY FOR NATIVE ACCESS TO WEB MAIL - An integrated, multi-service network client for cellular mobile devices is described. The multi-service network client can be deployed as a single software package on cellular mobile network devices to provide integrated services including secure enterprise virtual private network (VPN) connectivity, acceleration, security management including monitored and enforced endpoint compliance, and collaboration services. The VPN network client is programmed to receive a web-based home page from an enterprise VPN appliance, process the web-based home page to identify a bookmark embedded within the response that corresponds to an enterprise webmail for the user and dynamically construct a user interface to have an input control native to the cellular mobile device for launching a native email client of the cellular mobile device to access the email without launching a web browser. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120002815 | VPN NETWORK CLIENT FOR MOBILE DEVICE HAVING FAST RECONNECT - A virtual private network client for cellular mobile devices is described. The VPN network client establishes a secure VPN connection with a remote VPN security device. The VPN network client establishes a secure control channel with the secure VPN gateway and, upon a successful authentication, receives a session cookie with a unique identifier. In the event communication with the secure VPN gateway is subsequently temporarily lost, the VPN network client performs a fast reconnect without requiring re-authentication of the cellular mobile device by communicating the session cookie to the secure VPN gateway. Prior to performing the fast reconnect, the VPN network client identifies a set of transport mechanisms currently available to the cellular mobile device and, when only a cellular network is available and not a wireless packet-based connection, the VPN network client defers the fast reconnect until application-layer data is received from a user application and is ready to be sent to the remote VPN security device via the VPN connection | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120005476 | MULTI-SERVICE VPN NETWORK CLIENT FOR MOBILE DEVICE HAVING INTEGRATED ACCELERATION - An integrated, multi-service virtual private network (VPN) network client for cellular mobile devices is described.

The multi-service network client can be deployed as a single software package on cellular mobile network devices to provide integrated services including secure enterprise virtual private network (VPN) connectivity, acceleration, security management including monitored and enforced endpoint compliance, and collaboration services. Once installed on the cellular mobile device, the multi-service client establishes the VPN connection to concurrently include both a layer three (L3) tunnel that uses a first type of transport layer protocol of the operating system and a layer four (L4) tunnel that uses a second type of transport layer protocol of the operating system. The VPN handler determines whether network ports associated with the L3 tunnel are unblocked by an operating system and, when the network ports are unblocked, automatically transitions from the L4 tunnel to the L3 tunnel without terminating the VPN connection. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120005745 | VPN NETWORK CLIENT FOR MOBILE DEVICE HAVING DYNAMICALLY TRANSLATED USER HOME PAGE - A virtual private network (VPN) client for cellular mobile devices is described. The VPN network client processes network packets for securely tunneling the network packets between the cellular mobile device and the remote VPN security device. Upon establishing the VPN connection, the VPN network client receives a web-based home page from the secure VPN device via a secure response, dynamically parses bookmark links from the secure response and renders a bookmark window using input controls native to the cellular mobile device without invoking a web browser on the cellular mobile device. Each of the input controls corresponds to a different one of the bookmarks parsed from the secure response. Upon selection of one of the input controls, the VPN network client formulates and outputs an appropriate request to the secure VPN device as if a corresponding one of the bookmark links were selected by the user. | 01-05-2012 |
