Web Content Proxy Server Cookie Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Web content optimization servers face scalability, security, and privacy issues due to the storage of original server cookies, which can lead to memory capacity problems and potential identity theft.
Innovation Solution
Transforming original server cookies into web optimized client cookies, which are stored on client devices rather than the proxy server, allowing for secure and private interactions between client devices and remote web servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If original server cookies are stored in internal memory at the web content proxy server, then client devices can interact with remote web servers correctly, but scalability is limited due to memory storage capacity constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the cookie storage function from the proxy server's internal memory and relocates it to client device storage. The proxy server transforms original server cookies into web optimized client cookies that are stored locally on client devices, eliminating the proxy server's dependency on internal memory for cookie storage and enabling unlimited scalability.
2Reliability
If original server cookies are stored in internal memory at the web content proxy server, then session management is enabled, but security and privacy are compromised due to centralized storage of sensitive information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the centralized database of original server cookies from the proxy server and disperses session information across individual client devices through web optimized client cookies. This extraction eliminates the security vulnerability of centralized sensitive data storage while preserving session management functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces web optimized client cookies as an intermediary format that preserves session management functionality while eliminating security risks. These transformed cookies act as a mediator between the proxy server and client devices, maintaining necessary session information without exposing sensitive original server cookie data.
3Stability of the object's composition
If original server cookies are stored centrally at the proxy server, then session continuity is maintained, but the proxy server becomes a target for identity theft and confidential information exposure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts sensitive session information from centralized proxy server storage and distributes it to client devices. This eliminates the proxy server as a target for identity theft while maintaining session continuity through local client-side storage and transformation capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms original server cookies into web optimized client cookies with different storage parameters and formats. This parameter change in how session information is stored and managed maintains session continuity functionality while fundamentally changing the security profile by removing centralized sensitive data storage.

AI summary
A method, computer readable medium and apparatus that optimizes a web content proxy server includes obtaining at a proxy server a web page with an original server cookie from one of one or more web content servers in response to a request from one of one or more client devices. A web optimized client cookie based on the original server cookie is generated at the proxy server. The obtained web page with the generated web optimized client cookie is providing by the proxy server to the requesting one of one or more client devices.
