Cryptographic Authorization With Prioritized Authentication

View page
US Patent:
6711681, Mar 23, 2004
Filed:
May 5, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/306009
Inventors:
Sangeeta Varma - Sunnyvale CA
Aravindan Ranganathan - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H04K 100
US Classification:
713184, 713166, 713168, 713182, 713183, 713185, 707 9, 709225, 709227, 709229
Abstract:
A system and associated method for authorizing, or withholding authorization of, user access to a selected computer application or other resource, based on the users response to one or more user authentication tests. If the user satisfies one or more authentication tests but satisfies less than all the tests, the system optionally allows the user access to a selected subset of the resource. Alternatively, the user loses access to a selected subset of the application for each test not satisfied by the user. An authentication test or its associated weight may change at a selected time, and the selected time may be determined with reference to a time at which the resource changes.

View page
US Patent:
7237256, Jun 26, 2007
Filed:
Jul 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/619657
Inventors:
Qingwen Cheng - Fremont CA, US
Bhavna Bhatnagar - Sunnyvale CA, US
Hong Xu - Palo Alto CA, US
Wei Sun - Los Altos CA, US
Ping Luo - Union City CA, US
Shivaram Bhat - Sunnyvale CA, US
Aravindan Ranganathan - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H04L 9/32
US Classification:
726 3, 726 4, 726 8
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an open and interoperable single sign-on session in a heterogeneous communication network. The open and interoperable single sign-on system is configured by exchanging an entity identifier, an account mapping, an attribute mapping, a site attribute list, an action mapping and/or the like. The entity identifier, account mapping, attribute mapping, site attribute list, action mapping and the like for each partner entity is stored in a partner list accessable to the particular entity. Thereafter, the open and interoperable single sign-on session may be provided upon receipt of a SAML request or assertion containing an entity identifier. The entity identifier contained in the SAML request or assertion is looked-up in the partner list of the particular entity which received the SAML request or assertion. A record containing a matching entity identifier provides the applicable account mapping, attribute mapping, site attribute list, and/or action mapping. The one or more mappings are then utilized to process the SAML request or assertion.

Plugin Architecture For Extending Polices

View page
US Patent:
7296235, Nov 13, 2007
Filed:
Oct 10, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/269152
Inventors:
Shivaram Bhat - Sunnyvale CA, US
Hua Cui - Fremont CA, US
Ping Luo - Union City CA, US
Dilli Dorai Minnal Arumugam - Cupertino CA, US
Aravindan Ranganathan - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G06F 3/00
US Classification:
715744, 715747
Abstract:
An architecture for allowing extensibility to policies. The architecture has a policy component program that is able to evaluate and enforce polices. The architecture also has plugin modules for allowing a user to customize the polices. The policy component program is able to present interfaces to the user for customizing the polices. The policy component program is further able to integrate customized polices into a framework of the policy component program in response to user input that is based on the interfaces presented to the user. The presented interfaces may be for defining subjects in the policy program, defining conditions in the policy program, defining referrals in the policy program, defining resource names in the policy program, and defining how conflicts will be resolved in the policy program. The interfaces may be compliant with the JAVA programming language.

Remote Interface For Policy Decisions Governing Access Control

View page
US Patent:
7594256, Sep 22, 2009
Filed:
Jun 26, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/608882
Inventors:
Shivaram Bhat - Sunnyvale CA, US
Hua Cui - Fremont CA, US
Ping Luo - Union City CA, US
Dilli Dorai Minnal Arumugam - Cupertino CA, US
Aravindan Ranganathan - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H04L 9/00
US Classification:
726 1, 726 14
Abstract:
Methods and systems thereof for controlling access to resources are described. When a user attempts to access a resource via a remote interface such as a Web server, the request is initially evaluated by a source of policy definitions such as a policy server. This source returns a policy decision to the remote interface. The policy decision is stored in memory by the remote interface. The remote interface can then evaluate subsequent requests from the user for the resource using the stored policy decision instead of having to communicate again with the source for the policy decision. Enhancements to this approach are also described. Accordingly, policy definitions and decisions are more efficiently implemented.

A single sign-on architecture is provided where an identity provider is used to facilitate cross-domain authentication and to enhance user convenience. Service delegation features are also provided.

Method And System For Resource Based Authentication

View page
US Patent:
7640574, Dec 29, 2009
Filed:
Jun 2, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/858763
Inventors:
Beomsuk Kim - San Jose CA, US
Mrudul Pradeep Uchil - San Jose CA, US
Aravindan Ranganathan - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G06F 7/04
H04L 9/00
US Classification:
726 1, 726 8, 726 9, 726 10
Abstract:
A method and system for resource based authentication may include, in response to a client attempting to access a protected resource of a system, implementing resource based authentication. A policy agent may intercept the client access request and redirect it to an appropriate authentication gateway module based upon authentication polices. If the protected resource is not associated with any resource specific authentication technique, the policy agent may apply a default authentication technique. If, however, the protected resource is associated with a particular resource specific authentication technique, the policy agent may apply the resource specific authentication technique without applying the default authentication technique.

Method And System For Providing A Circle Of Trust On A Network

US Patent:
7716469, May 11, 2010
Filed:
Jul 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/627019
Inventors:
Bhavna Bhatnagar - Sunnyvale CA, US
Ping Luo - Union City CA, US
Qingwen Cheng - Fremont CA, US
Shivaram Bhat - Sunnyvale CA, US
Hong Xu - Palo Alto CA, US
Wei Sun - Los Altos CA, US
Aravindan Ranganathan - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Oracle America, Inc. - Redwood Shores CA
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
H04L 9/32
G06F 7/04
US Classification:
713156, 713173, 726 8
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a circle of trust on a network. The circle of trust is configured by exchanging credential of a first and a second affiliated entity. The credentials of the first affiliated entity is stored in a trusted partner list of the second affiliated entity. The credentials of the second affiliated entity is stored in a trusted partner list of the first affiliated entity. Thereafter, a circle of trust session may be provided when a client device initiates use of a resource on a relying party device by providing an authentication assertion reference. The identity of the issuing party of the authentication is determined as a function of the authentication assertion reference. The relying party sends an authentication query containing its credential to the issuing party. The issuing party determines if the relying party is a trusted entity based upon whether the relying party's credential is contained in the trusted partner list of the issuing party.
