20110238738 | Rules-Based Transactions Prefetching Using Connection End-Point Proxies - Network proxies reduce server latency in response to series of requests from client applications. Network proxies intercept messages clients and a server. Intercepted client requests are compared with rules. When client requests match a rule, additional request messages are forwarded to the server on behalf of a client application. In response to the additional request messages, the server provides corresponding response messages. A network proxy intercepts and caches the response messages. Subsequent client requests are intercepted by the network application proxy and compared with the cached messages. If a cached response message corresponds with a client request message, the response message is returned to the client application immediately instead of re-requesting the same information from the server. A server-side network proxy can compare client requests with the rules and send additional request messages. The corresponding response messages can be forwarded to a client-side network proxy for caching. | 09-29-2011 |

20090083538 | REDUCING LATENCY OF SPLIT-TERMINATED SECURE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL SESSIONS - A method is provided for establishing a split-terminated secure communication connection between a client and a server. A first network intermediary intercepts a secure communication connection request directed from the client to the server. A second intermediary having a digital certificate in the name of the server (and a corresponding private key) acts in place of the server to establish a first secure communication session with the client, during which it receives a secret from the client for generating the session key. The second intermediary supplies the secret and/or the session key to the first intermediary, which allows the first intermediary to establish follow-on secure communication sessions in which the secret is reused. The second intermediary may also supply the first intermediary with a copy of its certificate so that it can respond to new secure communication requests and, yet further, may also supply a copy of the private key. | 03-26-2009 |
20100299525 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SPLIT-TERMINATING A SECURE NETWORK CONNECTION, WITH CLIENT AUTHENTICATION - A method and apparatus are provided for split-terminating a secure client-server communication connection, with client authentication. During handshaking between the client and the server, cooperating network intermediaries relay the handshaking messages, without altering the messages. At least one of the intermediaries possesses a private key of the server, and extracts a set of data fields from the handshaking messages, including a Client-Key-Exchange message that can be decrypted with the private key. The intermediary uses the extracted data to compute the client-server session key separate from the client's and the server's similar computation, and may transmit the key to the other intermediary via a secure communication channel. The client and the server thus establish the end-to-end client-server connection, and may authenticate each other, after which the network intermediaries may intercept and optimize the client-server communications transparently to the client and the server. | 11-25-2010 |

20090083537 | SERVER CONFIGURATION SELECTION FOR SSL INTERCEPTION - A network intermediary device such as a transaction accelerator intercepts a client request for a secure communication connection with a server. The intermediary issues a substitute connection request to the server and receives a digital certificate during establishment of a secure communication session between the intermediary and the server. Based on information in the received digital certificate, the intermediary selects an appropriate operational configuration for responding to the client's request. The intermediary consults an ordered list or other collection of digital certificates it possesses, and chooses one having a common name that matches the server's common name. The match may comprise the first matching name, the longest match, the best match, the broadest match (e.g., a certificate having a name that includes one or more wildcard characters), etc. The intermediary then uses the selected certificate (and corresponding private key) to establish a secure communication session with the client. | 03-26-2009 |

20100155253 | Microprobe Tips and Methods for Making - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to the formation of microprobe tips elements having a variety of configurations. In some embodiments tips are formed from the same building material as the probes themselves, while in other embodiments the tips may be formed from a different material and/or may include a coating material. In some embodiments, the tips are formed before the main portions of the probes and the tips are formed in proximity to or in contact with a temporary substrate. Probe tip patterning may occur in a variety of different ways, including, for example, via molding in patterned holes that have been isotropically or anisotropically etched silicon, via molding in voids formed in exposed photoresist, via molding in voids in a sacrificial material that have formed as a result of the sacrificial material mushrooming over carefully sized and located regions of dielectric material, via isotropic etching of the tip material around carefully sized and placed etching shields, via hot pressing, and the like. | 06-24-2010 |
