A gateway performs silent authentication refreshes with an identity management platform in order to extend the expiration of a cookie provided to an endpoint that accesses network applications through the gateway.

A network protocol provides mutual authentication of network-connected devices that are parties to a communication channel in environments where the amount of memory and processing power available to the network-connected devices is constrained. When a new device is added to a network, the device contacts a registration service and provides authentication information that proves the authenticity of the device. After verifying the authenticity of the device, the registration service generates a token that can be used to by the device to authenticate with other network entities, and provides the token to the device. The registration service publishes the token using a directory service. When the device connects to another network entity, the device provides the token to the other network entity, and the other network entity authenticates the device by verifying the token using the directory service.

Systems and methods for authenticating requests to use an Application Programming Interface (“API”) are described. In some embodiments, a request to use an API is received. Based on a comparison of the request to use the API with a pattern of activity associated with the client, a determination is made whether the client deviates from an expected behavior. Once a determination that the client deviates from the expected behavior is made, an authentication challenge is generated and issued. In some embodiments, the comparison of the request to use the API with a pattern of activity involves comparing transactional attributes of the request to use the API with past client behavior.

A cloud-based communication framework. A first secure channel may be established for communication between an IT device and a cloud-computing platform. A request for a device user interface may then be received over the first secure channel. The request may be initiated by a user device via the cloud-computing platform. The device user interface may be retrieved and forwarded over a second secure channel to the cloud-computing platform for communication to the user device.

A system for facilitating a plurality of virtual transmission control protocol connections between a target application and a source application is provided. The system includes a server proxy, a client proxy, and a network protection interposed between the server proxy and the client proxy. The server proxy is configured to receive an open request from the client proxy via a stateless protocol, including a target identifier, the open request originating from the source application, open a connection between the server proxy and the target application based on the target identifier, provide a response to the client proxy indicating a status of the open request, the response including at least one of a session identifier or a sequence identifier, receive, a data request from the client proxy, including the session identifier and an incremented sequence identifier, and provide the data request to the target application.

A first server receives a set of cryptographic parameters from a second server. The set of cryptographic parameters is received from the second server as part of a secure session establishment between a client device and the second server. The first server accesses a private key that is not stored on the second server. The first server signs the set of cryptographic parameters using the private key. The first server transmits the signed set of cryptographic parameters to the second server. The first server receives, from the second server, a request to generate a premaster secret using a value generated by the second server that is included in the request and generates the premaster secret. The first server transmits the premaster secret to the second server for use in the secure session establishment between the client device and the second server.

A method is disclosed for implementing trust Internet of Things (IoT) services in an IoT device and a user device. The IoT device receives from the user device an authentication request comprising a hash value, first encrypted information and second encrypted information, where the IoT device determines whether the user device is successfully authenticated based on determining the user device public key and confirming that the user device public key exists in a list of access permitted user devices of the IoT device.

Systems and methods are provided for implementing a centralized configurator server/service in the cloud that can take the place of conventional mobile devices used for provisioning IoT devices or WiFi clients in a network. In order to provision the IoT devices or WiFi clients, a mobile device or access point (AP) may be used to relay Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) messages and/or information between the centralized configurator server/service and the IoT devices or WiFi clients.

Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to secure group file sharing. An architecture for end-to-end encrypted, group-based file sharing using a trusted execution environment (TEE) is provided to protect confidentiality and integrity of data and management of files, enforce immediate permission and membership revocations, support deduplication, and mitigate rollback attacks.

An authentication method performed by an authentication system that is equipped with a communication apparatus to which an authentication information storage apparatus for recording authentication information is connected, and an information apparatus that communicates with the communication apparatus includes executing first authentication processing for authenticating the information apparatus, executing any one of second authentication processing for authenticating, by the information apparatus, the communication apparatus and relaying communication of second authentication processing for authenticating, by the information apparatus, the authentication information storage apparatus, and performing specific information processing when authentication is performed in both the first authentication processing and the second authentication processing.
