System and method for servicing queue requests via a proxy are described. In one embodiment, the system includes an enterprise queuing proxy (“EQP”) disposed within an enterprise computing environment and having an enterprise queue associated therewith; a cloud queuing proxy (“CQP”) disposed within a cloud computing environment, the CQP connected to a plurality of cloud queues each having associated therewith at least one queue service process listening on the cloud queue for queue requests to service; and a secure communications mechanism for interconnecting the EQP and the CQP. Upon receipt of a queue request from an enterprise service, the EQP evaluates the request against policy to determine whether to service it locally or remotely and, if the request is to be serviced remotely, forwards the request to the CQP via the secure communications mechanism. Upon receipt of the request, the CQP evaluates the queue request against policy to select one of the cloud queues to which to route the queue request for servicing.

System and method for implementing cloud mitigation and operations controllers are described. One embodiment is a system for controlling operation of a cloud computing environment, wherein the system comprises a repository for storing data regarding characteristics of the cloud computing environment, wherein the stored data includes policy notations designating compliance or noncompliance of the data with policy; an analyst module for analyzing the stored data in combination with external report information regarding the cloud computing environment and for providing results of the analysis; and a controller for evaluating the analysis results and issuing instructions for controlling operation of the cloud computing environment based on the evaluating.

Techniques for variable security access information are presented. The complexity levels associated with access secrets drive the assigned access rights to target resources. A single target resource may have varying sets of access rights, where each set is associated with a particular complexity level for a given access secret. A requesting principal can custom establish the principal's desired access secret complexity level for a target resource; this in turn drives the set of access rights for the target resource, which the principal may use when accessing the target resource.

System and method for transparent cloud access are described. In one embodiment, the system comprises an enterprise computing environment maintained by an enterprise and a cloud computing environment maintained by a cloud provider; and a secure bridge mechanism for interconnecting the enterprise computing environment and the cloud computing environment. The secure bridge mechanism comprises a first secure bridge portion associated with the enterprise and a second secure bridge portion associated with the cloud computing environment. The first and second secure bridge portions interoperate to provide transparent and secure access by resources of one of the computing environments to those of the other computing environment.

System and method for providing cloud computing services are described. In one embodiment, the system comprises a cloud computing environment comprising resources for supporting cloud workloads, each cloud workload having associated therewith an internal cloud address; and a routing system disposed between external workloads of an external computing environment and the cloud workloads, the routing system for directing traffic from an external cloud address to the internal cloud addresses of the cloud workloads. The routing system comprises a virtual router configured to function as a network address translator (“NAT”); a distributor connected between the virtual router and the cloud workloads; and a distributor registry accessible by the distributor for maintaining information comprising at least one of port mappings, cloud address mappings, and cloud workload configuration information.

An accessor function interfaces among a client, a relying party, and an identity provider. The identity provider can “manage” personal (i.e., self-asserted) information cards on behalf of a user, making the personal information cards available on clients on which the personal information cards are not installed. The client can be an untrusted client, vulnerable to attacks such as key logging, screen capture, and memory interrogation. The accessor function can also asked as a proxy for the relying party in terms of invoking and using the information cards system, for use with legacy relying parties.

One embodiment is a clocking system for a computing environment. The system comprises a first set of processes executing in a first computing environment; a first local clock mechanism associated with the first set of processes; and a first communications channel for connecting the first local clock mechanism with the first set of processes. The first local clock mechanism stores clock rates of the first set of processes, wherein each clock rate is specified by function and source and destination combination, the first local clock mechanism further coordinating the clock speeds of the first set of processes as necessary.

Techniques for the remote authorization of secure operations are provided. A secure security system restricts access to a secure operation via an access key. An authorization acquisition service obtains the access key on request from the secure security system when an attempt is made to initiate the secure operation. The authorization acquisition service gains access the access key from a secure store via a secret. That is, the secret store is accessible via the secret. The secret is obtained directly or indirectly from a remote authorization principal over a network.

Techniques are provided for preserving and managing identities within an audit log. Initial entries into a log do not include an explicit and direct reference to an agent that performs a transaction; rather, the agent acquires a temporary transaction identity for the transaction and an indirect reference to the transaction identity is written to the log while the transaction is pending. Once the transaction completes a direct reference to the transaction identity is written to the log, the identity of agent remains transparent until the identity of the agent expires, if at all.
