Abstract:
Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for implementing a distributed firewall. In an embodiment, many different computer assets police incoming messages based on local policy data. This local policy data is synchronized with global policy data. The global policy data is generated by one or more separate analyzers. Each analyzer has access to message logs, or information derived therefrom, for groups of computer assets, and is thus able to generate policies based on intelligence from an entire group as opposed to an isolated asset. Among other effects, some of the approaches, techniques, and mechanisms may be effective even in computing environments with limited supervision over the attack surface, and/or computing environments in which assets may need to make independent decisions with respect to how incoming messages should be handled, on account of latency and/or unreliability in connections to other system components.

Abstract:
Embodiments provide techniques generating and managing encryption keys within a computing infrastructure. Embodiments provide a key publisher that generates and maintains key pairs in a list at a configurable interval. In addition, the key publisher publishes the list to other components within the computing infrastructure. Embodiments also provide a key consumer that downloads the list of encrypted key pairs and maintains an active window of keys to can be accepted from client devices that communicate sensitive data to the computing infrastructure. If the key consumer receives a key from a client device that is outside of the active window yet that corresponds to a future key pair in the list, the key consumer advances the active window towards the future key pair.

Abstract:
A technique for providing an API from a server to one of more endpoint devices including receiving a request for data from a endpoint device, retrieving one or more data resources from the data resources available within the server, based upon the request, manipulating the data within the retrieved data resources into a response optimized for the endpoint device, and transmitting the response to the endpoint device.
