    摘要: A method and system to communicate VPN server information to a client application without providing a full list of VPN server IP addresses. Instead, the method includes VPN server selection criteria that can be requested by client applications, such as “Free or Premium servers”, “Geolocation”, “Load”, “Streaming and protocol capabilities”, etc. A tagged data payload (e.g., JSON) can be used to provide these criteria, upon a request by a client application. Various groupings of VPN servers can be represented by the above criteria. The method provides a means for communicating the available VPN servers to a client application without sending and revealing the full list of VPN servers stored in the VPN infrastructure. This makes the VPN server selection efficient, reduces network load and VPN tunnel establishing time, also, ensures confidentiality of VPN server lists that is important for any of VPN service providers and users.

    摘要: Systems and methods are directed to secure hybrid data transfer through connection and request direction decoupling. Initially, a controller server in a source on-premise cluster establishes a persistent connection to a controller server in a destination cloud cluster. The connection is then reversed, which enables destination servers to request additional connections between any pair of source and destination servers dynamically from the source cluster. Each of these connections is established by a source server, which authenticates to a cloud (destination) server and then requests to reverse the connection. The reversed connections can be used to transfer data securely between the on-premise and cloud servers. The source server can be a broker in a source cluster located on-premise and the destination server can be a broker in a destination cluster in the cloud.

    摘要: An omni-channel adapter receives a request to create a communication session for a customer. Based on the request, the omni-channel adapter selects a channel-specific orchestrator. The request is modified, or a new request is generated, to suit the selected channel-specific orchestrator. The channel-specific request is sent to the channel-specific orchestrator. In response, the channel-specific orchestrator creates the communication session. Further communications between the customer and the channel-specific orchestrator may also be intermediated by the omni-channel adapter, which may maintain state information about the communication session. For example, a unique identifier may be generated by the omni-channel adapter or the channel-specific orchestrator for the communication session. A request by the customer to add an additional device to the communication session may include the identifier of the session. Based on the identifier of the session, the omni-channel adapter identifies the channel-specific orchestrator for the communication session.

    摘要: Disclosed are various approaches for peer-to-peer device security detection. In some examples, a first client device transmits verification data to a second client device. The verification data includes a public key verification certificate of the client device, and a time-based session token generated by the first client device. The first client device receives a preliminary cross-comparison package from the second client device. The preliminary package includes a spoof-check token, and peer device context data of the second client device. The first client device generates a cross-comparison package using the preliminary cross-comparison package and local device context data of the first client device, and transmits the cross-comparison package to a management service for cross-comparison.

    摘要: Systems and methods for broadcasting images identifying a destination device as it appears in an environment for content transfer are disclosed. Systems include a first device which selects a profile image of itself as it appears in its environment and embeds the profile image in its identification profile. The first device transmits the identification profile over a network during a discovery phase and the identification profile is received by a second device located in proximity to the first device. The identification profile is verified as corresponding to the first device by comparing the profile image to a real-time image of the first device. When the profile image substantially matches the real-time image of the first device, pairing between the first device and second device is initiated or content is sent over the network from the second device to the first device.
