Inline secret sharing

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring communication between computers using network monitoring computers (NMCs). NMCs identify a secure communication session established between two of the computers based on an exchange of handshake information associated with the secure communication session. Key information that corresponds to the secure communication session may be obtained from a key provider such that the key information may be encrypted by the key provider. NMCs may decrypt the key information. NMCs may derive the session key based on the decrypted key information and the handshake information. NMCs may decrypt network packets included in the secure communication session. NMCs may be employed to inspect the one or more decrypted network packets to execute one or more rule-based policies.

Efficient distributed handshake using mobile agents

Abstract: There is a handshake between two nodes in a network, if the two nodes are communicating with one another in an exclusive mode. In this paper, we give a mobile agent algorithm that allows to decide whether two nodes realize a handshake. Our algorithm can be used in order to solve some other classical distributed problems, e.g., local computations, maximal matching and edge coloring. We give a performance analysis of the algorithm and we compute the optimal number of agents maximizing the mean number of simultaneous handshakes. In particular, we obtain Ω(mδ/Δ2) simultaneous handshakes where m is the number of edges in the network, and Δ (resp. δ) is the maximum (resp. minimum) degree of the network. For any almost Δ-regular network, our lower bound is optimal up to a constant factor. In addition, we show how to emulate our mobile agent algorithm in the message passing model while maintaining the same performances. Comparing with previous message passing algorithms, we obtain a larger number of handshakes, which shows that using mobile agents can provide novel ideas to efficiently solve some well studied problems in the message passing model.

Suppressing Intermediate Certificates in TLS

Abstract: A TLS client that has access to the complete set of published intermediate certificates can inform servers of this fact so that the server can avoid sending intermediates, reducing the size of the TLS handshake.

Link management method, device and system in virtual machine environment

Abstract: Provided are a link management method, device and system in a virtual machine environment. The method comprises: establishing a heartbeat handshake link with a virtual machine; acquiring link aggregation control protocol (LACP) state information about a physical port on a network interface card after the heartbeat handshake link is successfully established; and sending the LACP state information to the virtual machine via the heartbeat handshake link.

Agent method, device and system based on SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

Abstract: The invention relates to an agent method, device and system based on an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a first encryption parameter selected in the first handshake process between an SSL agent and a client, and pre-main password encrypted data sent by the client; acquiring a second encryption parameter selected by a server in a second handshake process between the SSL agent and the server; judging whether the first encryption parameter is matched with the second encryption parameter or not; and if yes, directly sending the pre-main password encrypted data sent by the client in the first handshake process to the server, so that the server can fulfil the second handshake process according to the pre-main password encrypted data. Therefore, when the judging result shows that the first encryption parameter is matched with the second encryption parameter, the pre-main password encrypted data for fulfilling the second handshake process can be acquired without recalculation of the random number of the second handshake process; and the pre-main password encrypted data in the handshake process between the SSL agent and the client is prevented from being idle, that is, the resource utilization ratio is improved.
