Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Model-based virtual networking." This architecture facilitates the virtual specification of a connection between physical endpoints. A network can be defined as an abstract connectivity model expressed in terms of the connectivity intent, rather than any specific technology. The connectivity model is translated into configuration settings, policies, firewall rules, etc., to implement the connectivity intent based on available physical networks and devices capabilities. The connectivity model defines the connectivity semantics of the network and controls the communication between the physical nodes in the physical network. The resultant virtual network may be a virtual overlay that is independent of the physical layer. Alternatively, the virtual overlay can also include elements and abstracts of the physical network(s). Moreover, automatic network security rules, such as Internet Protocol security (IPSec), can be derived from the connectivity model of the network.

Another significant patent is "Secure machine enrollment in multi-tenant subscription environment." In this multi-tenant environment, machines across the Internet, belonging to a particular subscription, are securely enrolled with the tenant's subscription. Authentication of the machines is delegated to each of the tenant's own on-premise authentication mechanism. The trust relationship with the tenant's authentication service is used to validate the security token presented by the machine being authenticated. Once authenticated, the machine has authorization, such as an SSL machine certificate for identity and a security token, to access the subscription. Each tenant within the multi-tenant environment can provide its own level of authentication. The machine presents the security token to the multi-tenant environment for requests for resources, such as services or content, from a user. When a request is received from a machine to access a resource, the multi-tenant environment determines from the issued token whether or not the machine is authorized to access the requested resources.
