US Patent:

8635671, Jan 21, 2014

Filed:

May 31, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/118841

Inventors:

Thomas Alexander Wood - Raleigh NC, US
Daniel P. Radez - Apex NC, US

Assignee:

Red Hat, Inc. - Raleigh NC

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 4, 713166, 713168

Abstract:

In accordance with some aspects of the present disclosure, a method is disclosed that can include receiving, by a security delegate module, a set of user authentication credentials by an application running a first instance in a network for a user; determining, by the security delegate module, a type of the application; and selecting, by the security delegate module, a security service based on the set of user authentication credentials and the type of application.

International Classification:

G06F 7/04

US Classification:

726 5

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present teachings relate to systems and methods for generating modular security delegates for applications. According to embodiments, in a multiple network environment, multiple machines (or clients) can be configured. Each machine can include a plurality of application instances and an authentication delegate. In addition, each network environment can include a communication interface to security services. The applications can include logic that indicates what security delegate to use for a given set of user authentication credentials. The logic can be configured to determine the appropriate authentication delegate using various methods. The authentication delegates can receive a set of user authentication credentials from application instances and determine whether the set of user authentication credentials are valid. Each authentication delegate corresponds to one and only one type of authentication mechanism.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present teachings relate to systems and methods for generating modular security delegates for application instances, including, for example, applications usable on physical machines, virtualized environments, in the cloud, etc. According to embodiments, in a multiple network environment, multiple machines (or clients) can be configured, each having a defined security level. Each machine can include a plurality of application instances and corresponding security delegates for various defined security levels. For example, the defined security levels can be based on various authentication mechanisms, including, Kerberos, NT Lan Manager (NTLM) authentication protocol, secure sockets layer/transport security layer (SSL/TSL), token authentication, virtual private network (VPN), remote access security (RAS), digest authentication, etc.

International Classification:

F02M 2704

US Classification:

123538

Abstract:

An in-line fuel treatment device improves fuel efficiency and decreases the quantity of harmful gases produced as the result of combustion. The device comprises an elongate hollow tube having an inlet end and an outlet end and is adapted to be connected in-line with the fuel line proximate the apparatus fuel intake. A plurality of magnets are positioned proximate the outer surface of the tube and a non-sacrificial catalyst is positioned within the tube. In a preferred embodiment, the catalyst is a naturally occurring silica in the form of quartz crystals.

International Classification:

G07F 17/32

US Classification:

463 25

Abstract:

Gaming devices, gaming systems, methods of conducting wagering games, and computer programs for executing wagering games are disclosed. A gaming system for playing a wagering game is disclosed which includes one or more display devices, one or more input devices, one or more processors, and one or more memory devices. The memory device(s) stores instructions that, when executed by the processor(s), cause the gaming system to: simultaneously display the wagering game and a real-time event; randomly determine an outcome of the wagering game; identify a selected incident occurring in the real-time event, the occurrence of which is not controlled by the player or the gaming system; associate the selected incident with a parameter of the wagering game; and, upon occurrence of the selected incident in the real-time event during the simultaneous display of the wagering game and the real-time event, modify the parameter for a play of the wagering game.
