Appl. No.:

09/923512

Inventors:

Rajendra Datar - Clinton NJ
Daniel F. Hurley - Marlboro NJ
Vishwa Prasad - Matawan NJ
Earle H. West - Morganville NJ

Assignee:

ATT Corp - New York NY

International Classification:

G06F 900

US Classification:

713182, 713164, 713165, 713168

Abstract:

A participant ( ) in electronic commerce can validate his/her own certificate ( ) by accessing an authority ( ) that checks whether the participants certificate is valid. If the certificate is valid, the authority embeds with the participants terminal ( ) a block of data, in the form of a Cookie ( ) that includes a plurality of attributes indicative of the certificate, for example, the certificates date of expiration. When accessing a secure application ( ), the participant presents both the certificate and the authenticating Cookie, obviating the need for a real-time inquiry to the authority, unless the Cookie is stale or missing.

US Classification:

370389, 370235, 370242, 370252, 726 23, 726 25

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for generating a reconnaissance index for a communications network is described. In one embodiment, scan detection data is initially received. A number of scan flows and a number of unique source Internet protocol (SIP) addresses initiating said number of scan flows is then identified from said scan detection data. Afterwards, a reconnaissance index is generated by utilizing said number of scan flows and said number of unique SIP addresses.

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

US Classification:

370233, 370234

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for analyzing traffic arriving at and/or departing from a traffic aggregate defined as a given IP-related protocol, a given port associated with a given protocol, an IP address or subset of IP addresses, or by other traffic aggregation, during a given time interval, to determine whether there is a significant increase or decrease in traffic aggregate's traffic volume as compared to the traffic aggregate's expected traffic volume are disclosed. In one embodiment, the present method defines a traffic share ratio threshold associated with a given protocol or a given protocol port or a given IP address or a given subset of IP addresses or other traffic aggregation using said collected volumetric traffic data. The present method also defines a current traffic share, a baseline traffic share and a traffic share ratio to be evaluated for the said traffic aggregate. In turn, the present method raises an alarm if the traffic aggregate's traffic share ratio to be evaluated exceeds or falls below the traffic share ratio threshold defined for the traffic aggregate.
