Appl. No.:

12/328934

Inventors:

Robert L. Bergerson - Blaine MN, US

Assignee:

Unisys Corporation - Blue Bell PA

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

713155, 713153, 713150

Abstract:

This application generally describes techniques for dynamically updating trusted certificates and CRLs, generally referred to herein as certificate information. That is, techniques are described for updating trusted certificates and CRLs without terminating existing communication sessions. An exemplary method includes the steps of receiving an initial configuration that includes a trusted certificate authority, receiving certificate information that includes a certificate revocation list (CRL) and a first certificate from the trusted certificate authority, storing the certificate information in the configuration, initiating a communication session for an application, receiving an update to the certificate information, and updating the configuration to reflect the update to the certificate information without terminating the communication session. A computing device may receive the update to the certificate information from a user, as well as receiving a command from the user to apply the update to the certificate information to current communication sessions.

Abstract:

Techniques are described for mapping an emulated SSL implementation to, for example, OpenSSL. An exemplary method includes receiving a request to initiate a communication session from an application, running in an emulation environment, with a first SSL API of an emulated SSL implementation running in the emulation environment, sending the request to a communication interface process that is running in a base computing environment, wherein the emulation environment is a process running on the base computing environment, extracting, with the communication interface process, communication session information from the request, calling, with the communication interface process, procedures provided by a second SSL API of an SSL implementation, in accordance with the request, to initiate a communication session with a computing device, wherein the SSL implementation is a program running in the base computing environment, initiating the communication session with the computing device, and transferring data to the computing device.

International Classification:

G06K 19/00

US Classification:

235487

Abstract:

A transaction product includes a digital camera assembly, a housing and an account identifier. The digital camera assembly includes a lens assembly, an image sensor aligned with the lens assembly, and a memory electrically coupled with the image sensor. The digital camera assembly is configured to capture images through the lens assembly using the image sensor and to digitally store the captured images to the memory. The housing substantially encloses the image sensor and the memory. The account identifier links the transaction product to an account or record and is machine readable by a point-of-sale terminal such that value can be added to or deducted from the account or record using the account identifier. Other product, cards, assemblies and associated methods are also disclosed.

US Classification:

714 48, 709227, 714E11025

Abstract:

Error information may be made quickly and easily accessible to an administrator by logging communications attempts in the operating system of a server. When the interface processor resides outside of the operating system, the interface processor may provide indications to the operating system of communications attempts. Specifically, the interface processor may provide message packets to the pass-through communications processor of the operating system when SSL/TLS communications attempts fail to establish secure communications sessions. The message packets may include information useful for diagnosing errors in SSL/TLS communication failures such as errors in the creation and management of certificates, certificate trust, private and public keys, and/or cipher suites. The communications logs in the operating system may be reviewed and/or analyzed by an administrator with a log trace analysis application.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

703 23

Abstract:

Updates to components of an interface may be carried out from a program executed in an emulated environment. For example, an interface that provides communications for the program in the emulated environment to the host operating system may be updated from the program in the emulated environment. Centralizing updates through the program improves the likelihood that components, such as the interface, have compatible versions with the program executing in the emulated environment. Thus, as the program is updated other components are updated by the program.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

703 23

Abstract:

Communications between an application executing in an emulated environment in an operating system and a network stack in the operating system may be improved to allow the application access to additional information. The application may be able to access a network traffic log of the operating system, including contents of packets transmitted and received for the application. The network traffic log may be transmitted to the application by a non-emulated interface executing in the operating system. The application may merge the contents of the network traffic log with an internal application log based on matching similar events between the two logs.

Abstract:

Data rates in secure data communications may be improved by executing helper applications to assist a computer system in responding to requests for secure data. The computation-intensive calculations may be offloaded to helper applications executing on different central processor units (CPUs). When the helper applications execute on different CPUs, higher data rates are achievable because additional CPU time is available for handling the encryption and decryption processing. A main application receives the initial request for secure data connections and assigns tasks related to the connections to the helper applications.
