20100296413 | System and Method for Multicast Transmission - A system and method for multicast transmission are disclosed. In one embodiment, a virtual exchange network including interconnected nodes is embedded within a network. A sender is disposed in communication with a root node and receivers are disposed in communication with a set of edge nodes. The sender publishes a packetized data stream to which the receivers subscribe. The packetized data stream is promulgated by implicit signaling through optimum virtual exchange network connections from the sender through the virtual exchange network to the receivers. The interconnected nodes, responsive to receiving the published packetized data stream, are adapted to multicast N instances of the published packetized data stream to N recipients selected from the group consisting of receivers and other of the interconnected nodes. | 11-25-2010 |
20130238905 | DATA SHIELDING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A processor-based system and method comprising a display engine that creates a virtual space on a user device. An interface engine is operable to sense an interaction with a user, and in response to that interaction, receive a key from a remote server and apply a cipher. The interaction may be a user dragging or dropping a file or other data into the virtual space. The interface may then detect the file, query a remote server to retrieve a key and apply the cipher to the data using the key. The ciphers may be dynamically changed for different files. Display indicia show encrypted and non-encrypted files in a format that indicates their state. In certain embodiments the system may act as a server delivering secure and non-secure information to other processes. | 09-12-2013 |
20130263233 | DATA ACCESS AND CONTROL - A data access and control system and method for sourcing data to one or more software as a service (SaaS) providers. Certain embodiments include an interface engine coupled to one or more SaaS providers through a network, and further operable to service requests for data operations from the SaaS providers. The service requests may include a request for data from the user-controlled structured data store or a request to store data in the user-controlled structured data store. The user-controlled data store may be local to the user or in a remote location. User-control of data provides additional security because the SaaS provider does not keep control of the data. Certain embodiments include encryption through the use of a cipher or a key, which may be provided from a third party. The ciphers may be dynamically changed for different files. Other embodiments include operations on a mobile computing device. | 10-03-2013 |
20130346839 | PRIVATE TUNNEL NETWORK PORTAL - A system and method for a portal for management and operation of a private tunnel network computing system. The portals provide for establishing, modifying, and operating multiple private clouds through a single interface. In some embodiments the method includes receiving resource information such as private and public resources and presenting the resource information to a manager through a graphical interface. The network manager then selects a resource and a private cloud, also through a graphical user interface. Once selected, a manager can operate to add the resource to the private cloud, or alternatively drop the resource from the cloud. Multiple private clouds may be effectuated and membership in those clouds established through the user interface. The private tunnel network portal may include controls for management tools, developer tools, and a cloud applications store. Once established, non-manager users can access those resources in a secure environment. | 12-26-2013 |
20130347072 | PRIVATE TUNNEL NETWORK - A processor-based system and method comprising a private tunnel connector operable to receive a network connection request, test the connection request for private network information, generate network connection information in response to the test, and respond to the network connection request with the network connection information. The testing may include accessing a DNS server for private network information, and receiving private domain information from a private domain server. The private tunnel connector is further operable to connect to a private domain server that is coupled to the private network connector through the Internet. The private domain server may include private cloud information such that users may create and access one or more private clouds using tunneling technologies. Domain servers and host machines may employ various encryption schemes to facilitate adding public Internet resources to the private cloud. | 12-26-2013 |
20140150083 | VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK SOCKET - A system and method for a virtual private network (VPN) wherein some embodiments includes creating complementary stack layers on both a client and a server device. An application operating through the VPN establishes a socket level protocol for operation of the VPN such that an application communicates with a client socket VPN layer which, in turn, is coupled to a server VPN layer. Data is encapsulated in a private tunnel. Certain embodiments may provide for VPN sockets for each application allowing concurrent VPNs to operate on a single device. | 05-29-2014 |
