Protection systems and methods provide for protecting one or more personal computers (“PCs”) and/or other intermittently or persistently network accessible devices or processes from undesirable or otherwise malicious operations of Java TN applets, ActiveX™ controls, JavaScript™ scripts, Visual Basic scripts, add-ins, downloaded/uploaded programs or other “Downloadables” or “mobile code” in whole or part.

Protection systems and methods provide for protecting one or more personal computers (“PCs”) and/or other intermittently or persistently network accessible devices or processes from undesirable or otherwise malicious operations of Java TN applets, ActiveX™ controls, JavaScript™ scripts, Visual Basic scripts, add-ins, downloaded/uploaded programs or other “Downloadables” or “mobile code” in whole or part. A protection engine embodiment provides, within a server, firewall or other suitable “recommunicator,” for monitoring information received by the communicator, determining whether received information does or is likely to include executable code, and if so, causes mobile protection code (MPC) to be transferred to and rendered operable within a destination device of the received information, more suitably by forming a protection agent including the MPC, protection policies and a detected-Downloadable. An MPC embodiment further provides, within a Downloadable-destination, for initiating the Downloadable, enabling malicious Downloadable operation attempts to be received by the MPC, and causing (predetermined) corresponding operations to be executed in response to the attempts, more suitably in conjunction with protection policies.

A system adapted to condition access to a network over an IPsec session to clients providing a proper one-time-password, even though the network access control uses IKEv1, which does not support one-time-passwords. An authentication service receives from a client an access request including the one-time-password, and provides the one-time-password to a service that checks the password. The one-time-password service returns a cookie when the password is successfully validated and the client is… Show more

A system adapted to condition access to a network over an IPsec session to clients providing a proper one-time-password, even though the network access control uses IKEv1, which does not support one-time-passwords. An authentication service receives from a client an access request including the one-time-password, and provides the one-time-password to a service that checks the password. The one-time-password service returns a cookie when the password is successfully validated and the client is properly authenticated. The cookie is passed on to the client computer, which uses the cookie as part of a request for a certificate. A certificate authority generates a certificate if a request for a certificate is received from an authenticated client, which in turn may be used to form the IPsec session for access to the network.

Method and apparatus for connecting Internet or IP users to agents of a call center, which may be linked to an Internet web site. Visual information about quality of service, available agents, and history of previous connections, is transferred to the IP user via the IP network prior to voice call establishment, and a voice call is established according to inputs from the IP user which are responsive to the transferred information.
