20140047539 | DETERMINING THE LIKELIHOOD OF TRAFFIC BEING LEGITIMATELY RECEIVED AT A PROXY SERVER IN A CLOUD-BASED PROXY SERVICE - Message(s) are received from each one of multiple proxy servers, which are anycasted to the same IP address, that indicate source IP addresses of packets that are received that are directed to that same IP address. These proxy servers receive the packets as result of domain(s) resolving to that same IP address, and a particular one of the proxy servers receives the packets as a result of an anycast protocol implementation selecting that proxy server. Based on these message(s) from each of the proxy servers, a determination of the likelihood of a packet having a particular source IP address being legitimately received at each of the proxy servers is determined A message is transmitted to each of the proxy servers that indicates which source IP addresses of packets are not likely to be legitimately received at that proxy server. | 02-13-2014 |
20140047542 | Mitigating a Denial-of-Service Attack in a Cloud-Based Proxy Service - A proxy server in a cloud-based proxy service receives a message that indicates that a domain, whose traffic passes through the proxy server, may be under a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The proxy server enables a rule for the domain that specifies that future requests for resources at that domain are subject to at least initially passing a set of one or more challenges. In response to receiving a request for a resource of that domain from a visitor, the proxy server presents the set of challenges that, if not passed, are an indication that that the visitor is part of the DoS attack. If the set of challenges are passed, the request may be processed. If the set of challenges are not passed, the request may be dropped. | 02-13-2014 |
20140108941 | Method and Apparatus for Automatically Optimizing the Loading of Images in a Cloud-Based Proxy Service - A web page is received at a client device. The web page includes at least one reference to an image. The client device determines a display size of the image. The client device transmits a request for the image, where the request includes an indication of a set of one or more requested dimensions for the image that is equal or substantially equal to the determined display size. The client device receives the image having a size that is equal or substantially equal to the set of requested dimensions, and the client device displays the image. | 04-17-2014 |
20140108969 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY OPTIMIZING THE LOADING OF IMAGES IN A CLOUD-BASED PROXY SERVICE - A request is received at a proxy server for a web page, the request originating from a client network application of a client device. The requested web page includes multiple references to multiple images. The proxy server retrieves the requested web page. The proxy server modifies code of the retrieved web page such that the client network application will not, for each one of images, request that image until the location where that image is to be displayed is within a viewport of the client network application or within a defined distance from the viewport of the client network application. The proxy server transmits the modified web page to the client device. | 04-17-2014 |
20140109225 | Identifying a Denial-of-Service Attack in a Cloud-Based Proxy Service - A cloud-based proxy service identifies a denial-of-service (DoS) attack including determining that there is a potential DoS attack being directed to an IP address of the cloud-based proxy service; and responsive to determining that there are a plurality of domains that resolve to that IP address, identifying the one of the plurality of domains that is the target of the DoS attack. The domain that is under attack is identified by scattering the plurality of domains to resolve to different IP addresses, where a result of the scattering is that each of those domains resolves to a different IP address, and identifying one of those plurality of domains as the target of the DoS attack by determining that there is an abnormally high amount of traffic being directed to the IP address in which that domain resolves. | 04-17-2014 |
20140157416 | Determining the Likelihood of Traffic Being Legitimately Received At a Proxy Server in a Cloud-Based Proxy Service - Message(s) are received from each one of multiple proxy servers, which are anycasted to the same IP address, that indicate source IP addresses of packets that are received that are directed to that same IP address. These proxy servers receive the packets as result of domain(s) resolving to that same IP address, and a particular one of the proxy servers receives the packets as a result of an anycast protocol implementation selecting that proxy server. Based on these message(s) from each of the proxy servers, a determination of the likelihood of a packet having a particular source IP address being legitimately received at each of the proxy servers is determined. A message is transmitted to each of the proxy servers that indicates which source IP addresses of packets are not likely to be legitimately received at that proxy server. | 06-05-2014 |
20140310526 | SECURE SESSION CAPABILITY USING PUBLIC-KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY WITHOUT ACCESS TO THE PRIVATE KEY - A server establishes a secure session with a client device where a private key used in the handshake when establishing the secure session is stored in a different server. During the handshake procedure, the server receives a premaster secret that has been encrypted using a public key bound with a domain for which the client device is attempting to establish a secure session with. The server transmits the encrypted premaster secret to another server for decryption. The server receives the decrypted premaster secret and continues with the handshake procedure including generating a master secret from the decrypted premaster secret and generating one or more session keys that are used in the secure session for encrypting and decrypting communication between the client device and the server. | 10-16-2014 |
20150026766 | Mitigating a Denial-of-Service Attack in a Cloud-Based Proxy Service - A proxy server in a cloud-based proxy service receives a message that indicates that a domain, whose traffic passes through the proxy server, may be under a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The proxy server enables a rule for the domain that specifies that future requests for resources at that domain are subject to at least initially passing a set of one or more challenges.
