Filed:

Sep 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/952830

Inventors:

Kevin Riley - Tyngsboro MA, US
Alex Urquizo - Burlington MA, US

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

713151, 713152, 713155, 713164, 713168

Abstract:

Early authentication processing uses the manufacture defined (“MD”) sequence made available by communication protocols during the Layer 1 training stage of a communications connection process to initiate an authentication request signal. Initiation of an authentication request during the training stage of a communications connection process is accomplished by packaging authentication request information into an authentication request signal and sending the authentication request signal, during the manufacturer defined sequence portion of Layer 1 training, to a communications connection receiver process. The authentication request information typically comprises a username and a password than can be used to verify the identify of the requester. Additionally, processing of an authentication request during the a communications connection process is provided. The processing comprises receiving an authentication request signal, during the manufacturer defined sequence portion of Layer 1 training, from a communications connection sender process and initiating authentication based upon the authentication request signal.

International Classification:

H04L 12/66
H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370352, 370389

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products are described associated with publicly-switched telephone network (“PSTN”) signaling at a media gateway for a packet-based network. The described signaling involves receiving, at a media gateway in communication with a packet-based network, signaling information and content information associated with one or more calls. The signaling information is based on a PSTN standard. At least a portion of both the signaling information and the content information is processed at the media gateway using a common processor. At least a portion of the content information is transmitted to a destination based on at least a portion of the signaling information.

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352000

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products are described associated with call redundancy for a packet-based network. The described call redundancy involves a receiver module in communication with the packet-based network adapted to receive or transmit data associated with a plurality of calls from one or more signaling links. The data includes signaling information based on a publicly-switched telephone network (“PSTN”) standard. A first processor module is in communication with the receiver module and is adapted to process the data associated with the plurality of calls. A second processor module is in communication with the receiver module and the first processor module. The second processor module is adapted to receive at least a portion of the data associated with the plurality of calls. At least a portion of data maintained on the second processor module is synchronized with the corresponding data processed by the first processor module.

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709250, 709227, 710 8

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for identifying one or more characteristics of a networked device, such as a client modem, is disclosed. Values of one or more components of a signal from an unknown device are compared to values of the same components of signals from known devices. Matches determined by this comparison identify characteristics, such as the manufacturer, of the unknown devices to be the same as characteristics of the matched known devices. The comparison values are determined by receiving signals from known devices, and identifying and cataloging values of the one or more signal components in association with characteristics of the known devices. The identified characteristics are stored and later can be accessed or manipulated to derive additional information, such as statistical information based on the characteristics identified for multiple unknown devices.

International Classification:

H04L 9/40
H04W 12/06
H04L 9/32

Abstract:

System and methods of brokering trust across multiple Authentication and Authorization methods in a multi-domain, multi-operator, private and public cloud networks are identified. A Digital Trust Broker (DTB) is disclosed that brokers trust between infrastructure authentication methods that use digital certificates (PKI) and operator/enterprise Authentication/Authorization methods through interaction with multiple operator/service provider control and management platforms. The Digital Trust Broker interacts with vendor management and security platforms for associating device manufacturing, assembly, supply-chain, and logistics attributes for assuring trust of compute, network, storage and other system components that a high security enterprise or service provider acquires and installs in their networks. Additionally, methods of generating enhanced certificates for secure network slices and other Cloud and SDN hosted virtual network functions as trust assured services are also disclosed.
