20130117829 | INTERNET ENABLED MONITORING AND CONTROL DEVICE - A connection between a monitoring device and a remote user is accomplished securely over the Internet by using a communication channel with public/private key encryption to connect the two locations and by performing authentication of a user at the local monitoring device rather than at a device server at the remote location, thereby effectively removing the device server as vulnerable point for attack. In particular, when a remote user attempts to log in, via a web browser or interactive telephone system, the encrypted channel is established using the public/private key of the device and the device server proxies the log-in request to the monitored device. The device itself is then responsible for granting or denying access. | 05-09-2013 |
