TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method to record and archive collaborative Web browsing sessions over a network. But the method is limited to the case where the second computer is instructed to log into a control site that downloads an active control, such as an applet, to the first computer, and the session is then replayed by the control site on the user's computer.
Abstract: A collaborative Web browsing session may take place over a network, allowing the presenter on a first computer to direct the audio and visual components of a browser on one or more second computers. The second computer is instructed to log into a control site that downloads an active control, such as an applet, to the second computer. The present invention allows a collaborative Web browsing session ('session'), as created by the presenter and witnessed by one or more users on second computers, to be recorded and archived by the control site. When a user of a computer is connected to the control site through a communication network such as the World Wide Web, that user may log into the control site and request to view an archived session. The session will then be replayed by the control site on the user's computer, directing the audio and visual components of the browser on the user's computer as if the user was attending the live session. The recorded session replays the events of the live session in real time such that the playback experience contains the same audio and visual events that took place when the session was originally being recorded.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method and system for establishing and maintaining a secure TCP/IP session between a server having a database and a client, which includes sending a hello message from the client to the server to establish client authorization.
Abstract: A method and system for establishing and maintaining a secure TCP/IP session between a server (1) having a database (3) and a client (21-a, 21-b, 21-c), the method includes sending a hello message from the client to the server (1) to establish client authorization, the server (1) sends a server session ID and a session private key to the client to establish the session.
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and a method for providing a secure firewall between a private network and a public network are disclosed, which is a gateway station having an operating system that is modified to disable communications packet forwarding, and further modified to process any communications packet having a network encapsulation address which matches the device address of the gateway station.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a secure firewall between a private network and a public network are disclosed. The apparatus is a gateway station having an operating system that is modified to disable communications packet forwarding, and further modified to process any communications packet having a network encapsulation address which matches the device address of the gateway station. The method includes enabling the gateway station to transparently initiate a first communications session with a client on a first network requesting a network service from a host on a second network, and a second independent communications session with the network host to which the client request was addressed. The data portion of communications packets from the first session are passed to the second session, and vice versa, by application level proxies which are passed the communications packets by the modified operating system. Data sensitivity screening is preferably performed on the data to ensure security. Only communications enabled by a security administrator are permitted. The advantage is a transparent firewall with application level security and data screening capability.
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of monitoring browser interactions with a server arrangement includes: capturing information regarding requests and corresponding responses; identifying sessions, each session including requests received at the server arrangement and corresponding response; assigning a session identification (SessionID) for each identified session; recording in a database the SessionID, the content of each respective request in the session, each corresponding response, and a chronological order of the requests; and re-creating selected pages representative of a particular browser's interactions and identifying browsing patterns.

TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for handling roaming mobile nodes in a wireless network is presented, which uses a Subnet Context Manager to store current network session keys, security policy and duration of the session (e.g. session timeout) for mobile nodes, which is established when the mobile node is initially authenticated.
Abstract: A method and system for handling roaming mobile nodes in a wireless network. The system uses a Subnet Context Manager to store current Network session keys, security policy and duration of the session (e.g. session timeout) for mobile nodes, which is established when the mobile node is initially authenticated. Pairwise transit keys are derived from the network session key. The Subnet Context Manager handles subsequent reassociation requests. When a mobile node roams to a new access point, the access point obtains the network session key from the Subnet Context Manager and validates the mobile node by computing a new pairwise transient key from the network session key.
