Filed:

Feb 5, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/702371

Inventors:

Craig Lund - Irvine CA, US
Garret Grajek - Huntington Beach CA, US
Stephen Moore - Portland OR, US

Assignee:

SecureAuth Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

713169, 705 67

Abstract:

A method and system for mutually authenticating a client and a server is provided in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. The method commences with transmitting a token from the server to the client. Thereafter, the method continues with establishing a secure data transfer link between the server and the client. A server certificate is transmitted to the client during the establishment of the secure data transfer link. The method continues with transmitting a response packet to the server, which is validated thereby upon receipt. The system includes a client authentication module that initiates the secure data transfer link and transmits the response packet, and a server authentication module that transmits the token and validates the response packet.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

713156

Abstract:

A method and system for secured network access is provided in accordance with the present invention. The method begins with receiving a login request from a client on a router. Thereafter, a certificate transfer instruction for the router to an authentication appliance is generated where the client lacks a copy of a client certificate. The client is authenticated with a challenge-response sequence, the response to which is deliverable through an out-of-band communications channel. Upon authentication, the client certificate and the client private key are transmitted to the client, which are used to authenticate the client to the network.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 15

Abstract:

Authenticating a client to a server accessible through an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) Virtual Private Network (VPN) appliance. The IPSec VPN appliance and an SSL VPN appliance are configured to receive an initialization command from the client. The SSL VPN appliance is in communication with an authentication appliance for authenticating the client to the server. In response to the initialization command, the authentication appliance generates a client key pair including a client private key and a client public key. The authentication appliance generates a client certificate and a client IPSec profile. The authentication appliance transmits the client key pair, the client certificate and the client IPSec profile to the client. A secure communication session between the client and the server is established. The secure communication session is established through the IPSec VPN appliance. Upon receipt of the IPSec profile, the communication session between the client and the server is encrypted.

Appl. No.:

17/466248

Inventors:

- Waltham MA, US
John Meschberger - Tucson AZ, US
Stephen Moore - El Dorado Hills CA, US
Edward Little, III - El Dorado Hills CA, US

International Classification:

F02K 9/76

Abstract:

A propulsion system includes multiple solid rocket motors that are activated by a single initiator. The rocket motors act in parallel, providing thrust in a single direction. The initiator activates an ignition charge that is in or operatively coupled to a non-annular plenum that transports hot gasses from the ignition charge to the rockets to be ignited. The plenum may be an unchoked plenum, allowing flow of hot gasses without choking. The plenum may be lined with an insulator material. A cover may be used to cover the plenum, and also to receive the rocket motors. The rocket motors may be solid-fuel rocket motors, with propellant grains and nozzles. The individual rocket motors may have separate ignition booster charges coupled to the plenum, which are ignited by the ignition charge and which in turn ignite the propellant grains.
