Systems and methods for mobile application security classification and enforcement

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for mobile application security classification and enforcement. In particular, the present invention includes a method, a mobile device, and a distributed security system (e.g., a “cloud”) that is utilized to enforce security on mobile devices communicatively coupled to external networks (i.e., the Internet). Advantageously, the present invention is platform independent allowing it to operate with any current or emerging mobile device. Specifically, preventing malicious applications from running on an end user's mobile device is challenging with potentially millions of applications and billions of user devices; the only effective way to enforce application security is through the network that applications use to communicate.

Recipes management system

The present invention is generally related to a system for managing recipes using a web server and an off-line software application. A user using the software application will be able to create, display, print, modify, and search recipes and menus. The web server will be a recipe store where a user can buy and download individual recipes and electronic cookbooks into the software application secure database storage. The software application has a web interface to communicate with the recipe store, allowing the user to have an extended set of facilities like posting his / her own recipes for sale, requesting restaurant and food store services for a given recipe or menu, requesting the restoration of their recipe database, and receiving suggested drinking dates for their current wine inventory. The software application comes in two versions: the read-only and the all-inclusive version. With the read-only version a user will not be able to create or modify a recipe or use any of the extended facilities. The read-only version will be free to download from the recipe store.

Techniques for discovering and managing security of applications

ActiveUS20170251013A1Minimizing security threatMinimizing riskTransmissionSafety management systemsData source
Techniques for discovery and management of applications in a computing environment of an organization are disclosed. A security management system discovers use of applications within a computing environment to manage access to applications for minimizing security threats and risks in a computing environment of the organization. The security management system can obtain network data about network traffic to identify unique applications. The security management system can perform analysis and correlation, including use of one or more data sources, to determine information about an application. The system can compute a measure of security for an application (“an application risk score”) and a user (“a user risk score”). The score may be analyzed to determine a threat of security posed by the application based on use of the application. The security system can perform one or more instructions to configure access permitted by an application, whether access is denied or restricted.

Static analysis based error reduction for software applications

A system and method for providing “static analysis” of programs to aid in improving runtime performance, stability, security and privacy characteristics of deployed application code. The method includes performing a set of analyses that sifts through the program code and identifies programming security and / or privacy model coding errors. In particular the invention focuses on identifying coding errors that cause loss of correctness, performance degradation, security, privacy and maintainability vulnerabilities. A deep analysis of the program is performed using detailed control and data flow analyses. These deeper analyses provide a much better perspective of the overall application behavior. This deep analysis is in contrast to shallow analyses in current industry tools, which inspect or model a single or a few classes at a time.

Automated login session extender for use in security analysis systems

A web application security scanner (WASS) includes a login manager configured to perform an automated login to a web site. The automated login may be performed when the login manager detects that a login session has ended. The login manager is configured to determine credentials for the web site to allow the WASS to access the web site. The WASS may then use the credentials to continue scanning the web site. Thus, previously unscannable web pages may be accessed in the web site because of the automated login process.

Security gateway utilizing SSL protocol protection and related method

A security gateway, for use in a network system for linking at least a client end and a server end, includes a user interface, a SSL VPN driver, a connection interface and an IPSEC VPN driver. The security gateway supports IPSEC and SSL protocols. Before establishing an IPSEC VPN between a client end and a server end, the security gateway will perform ID authentication for the user of the client end with a widely-used SSL protocol, so as to establish a SSL VPN between a server end and a client end. When the ID of the client end is authorized, a configuration file comprising the SA is generated and then safely sent to the client end through the SSL VPN tunnel. After the client end receives and executes the configuration file having the SA, an IPSEC VPN tunnel between the server end and the client end is established.

Tamper-resistant trusted java virtual machine and method of using the same

A trusted Java virtual machine provides a method for supporting tamper-resistant applications, ensuring the integrity of an application and its secrets such as keys. The trusted Java virtual machine verifies the integrity of the Java application, prevents debugging of the Java application, and allows the Java application to securely store and retrieve secrets. The trusted Java virtual machine environment comprises a TrustedDictionary, a TrustedBundle, an optional encryption method for encrypting and decrypting byte codes, and an underlying trusted Java virtual machine. The encrypted TrustedDictionary protects data while the TrustedBundle protects programming code, allowing applications to store secret data and secure counters. The application designer can restrict TrustedBundle access to only those interfaces that the application designer explicitly exports. The open source code may optionally be encrypted. Secrets required by the open source programming code of the application are encrypted in TrustedDictionary.

System and method for integration of browser-based thin client applications within desktop rich client architecture

Techniques for facilitating the reuse of a browser-based thin client of a client-server application in a browser-independent context. These techniques may be used, for instance, to integrate the functionality of a browser-based thin client in a desktop-based, rich client infrastructure. In one set of embodiments, these techniques include determining one or more browser dependencies that require the thin client to operate within a web browser. For example, the thin client may depend on a web browser to handle application security, the loading / caching of client-side files, the receipt / passing of application parameters, and the like. These browser dependencies are then eliminated. As a result, the thin client can be subsequently reused without the presence of a web browser. In one set of embodiments, this process is performed by a conversion utility that automatically converts program code for the browser-based thin client into program code for a browser-independent client application.
