Defensive Publications Series
A foundation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is based on low-cost devices having ultra-low power consumption. IoT devices are usually powered by batteries that have power, capacity, and size constraints and, therefore, have limited lifespan. As IoT devices have become ubiquitous in many network environments, supplanting batteries or re-energizing batteries frequently can be expensive or, in some cases, even infeasible. Hence, the longevity of IoT devices is crucial to the long-term adoption of such devices. Presented herein is a novel technique to facilitate power management, data collection, and switching IoT devices on/off using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in …

Kubernetes (https://kubernetes.io/) has become the de-facto standard orchestrator for deploying modern cloud-native applications that employ micro-services-based architectures in which such micro-services are typically deployed via containers. Kubernetes uses abstractions of pods, namespaces, labels, selectors, specs operators and other various constructs that make it easy for application developers to rapidly deploy their workloads for test, development, and production environments. Such mixed/hybrid cloud environments make it challenging for Information Technology (IT) operators to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot such environments and implement consistent security policies. Accordingly, presented herein is a novel user interface dashboard through which automated network monitoring, troubleshooting, and visibility of …

In a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), when a central control plane is installed it ideally first establishes Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnels with edge devices and then forms data plane tunnels, such as Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) tunnels, which provide end-to-end connectivity between the edge devices. It is conventionally considered that the end-to-end connectivity provides more efficiency, but this may not be true for all types of traffic. For example, there may be scenarios in which tunnels can be formed between edge devices that are not performance efficient; thereby, causing exhaustion of central processing unit (CPU) resources, memory resources, …

Multi-Factor Authentication In Wireless Networks, Sachin D. Wakudkar, Ugo Campiglio
Defensive Publications Series
Wireless networks employ many forms of single and multiple authentication techniques (many of which may be combined) to support both different types of devices and strong authentication methods. However, there are times when such strong methods may not be used (when, for example, devices such as Internet of things (IoT) devices, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones, etc. do not allow user input or the installation of a certificate) and a weaker method (such as a Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK)) may be selected. In such cases, Multi-factor authentication (MFA), leveraging out-of-band (OOB) communication, could be employed to increase …

Large enterprises typically have a global footprint spanning multiple geographical regions and often desire a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SDWAN) for such multi-region deployments. A hierarchical SDWAN solution provides a simple, feature rich and scalable option for such deployments by dividing a network into regions and providing inter-region connectivity via border routers (BRs). However, SDWAN deployments typically enforce a strict hierarchy such that all inter-region traffic must flow through the border routers. Presented herein are techniques that address such challenges by providing for the ability to offload only critical traffic over a premium backbone, thereby keeping operational costs low. Further, …

Recovery Of Server Identifiers In Response To Network Failure, Poying Chuang, Rayson Chou
Defensive Publications Series
A user equipment (UE) can experience a server-identifier failure, wherein a network fails to provide the UE with one or more server addresses required by the UE to access network services. To reduce the impact of such a server-identifier failure, the UE can maintain a local database of previously received server identifiers. In response to a server-identifier failure, the UE uses the database to identify and communicate with the corresponding server via the network. The UE is thereby able to access network services, such as DNS services or SMS services, in the event of a server-identifier failure, thereby improving the …
