Encrypting keystroke data on a computing device involves receiving a key identifier (ID) from a keyboard device, creating a keystroke cipher segment comprising a primary authentication code and the key ID, and encrypting the keystroke cipher segment to generate an encrypted keystroke cipher segment. The keystroke cipher segment is included within a keystroke message and transmitted from the keyboard device driver to a window event handler via an input/output (I/O) message channel native to an operating system running on the computing device. The encrypted keystroke cipher segment is decrypted to identify the key ID, which is transmitted to a first application for further processing.

Ciphers to protect keystrokes

A method of generating text in a first language for incorporation into a remote desktop image to be displayed at a client device, based on inputs made at the client device in a second language different from the first language includes the steps of: transmitting the inputs at the client device in the second language to a remote device that is generating the remote desktop image; generating candidate text in the first language at the client device based on the inputs made at the client device in the second language; upon selection of the candidate text at the client device, transmitting the candidate text to the remote device for incorporation of the candidate text into an updated remote desktop image; and upon receipt of the updated remote desktop image, displaying the updated remote desktop image at the client device.

Local input method for remote desktops

Embodiments are described for placing a watermark over application windows in a desktop. For each application window that is opened in the desktop, the system can determine whether the application requires a watermark, for example, based on a predefined list that specifies which applications require watermarks. For each application window that requires a watermark, a uncovered watermark region can be calculated where the watermark will appear. An overlay can be placed over the application windows, for example in a top-level window that does not receive mouse and keyboard inputs, and the watermark can be drawn in the overlay over the location of the uncovered watermark region of each application. As a result, watermarks can be placed over a plurality of specified application windows in an efficient and convenient manner.

Per-window digital watermark for desktop applications

Techniques are described for enabling a client device having an established virtual desktop session to seamlessly handoff the virtual desktop session to other nearby client devices without the need for the user to manually disconnect the client and re-enter authentication information. The session transfer may be performed using a short-range wireless connectivity protocol, such as BTLE, where the client device having an established virtual desktop session operates in sender mode and broadcasts session handoff messages to nearby receiver devices within a valid range. Another client device operating in receiver mode may accept the session handoff message including session information associated with the virtual desktop session and initiate the transfer of the virtual desktop session without the need for the user to re-authenticate to the server.

Virtual desktop client connection continuity

Authentication to a remote-server from a computing device having stored credentials for the remote server is described. In one example, a method of authenticating a user to a remote server through a client application executing on a computing device includes: receiving, by the client application, a request to authenticate the user to the remote server using credentials stored on the computing device; prompting, by the client application, the user for gesture-based password; authenticating, by the client application, the gesture-based password; and sending, by the client application, the stored credentials to the remote server for authentication in response to successful authentication of the gesture-based password.
