Assignee:

Google Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

H04L 29/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for specifying a data network security policy. In one aspect, a system includes a device-agnostic firewall policy that defines one or more rules for regulating data traffic on a data network. The device-agnostic firewall policy includes a policy definition and a security component. The policy definition delineates regulation of the data network traffic to be implemented by a firewall and a policy token definition that delineates a token used in the policy definition. The security component is implemented in hardware, in software executed on a data processing device, or in a combination thereof and is configured to permit a first group of one or more individuals to change both the policy definition and the policy token definition and a second group of one or more individuals to change the policy token definition while restricting the second group from changing the policy definition.

Abstract:

Systems and methods create and use electronic content that provides objects with capabilities extended beyond those provided by traditional infrastructures. For example, if a tag-based infrastructure does not allow creating an object prior to the object being displayed, a content creator or other user may be able to define or customize a new object using script so that the new object can be created prior to being displayed. The new object may be implemented to take advantage of or otherwise use features of the tag-based infrastructure so that the new object otherwise behaves according to that infrastructure. Certain embodiments facilitate the use of objects prior to their display in environments where such use has previously been restricted or difficult. Generally, a content creation application can provide a content creator greater freedom to create, use, and parameterize objects, and/or in defining object interrelationships.
