    Abstract: A method comprises receiving, at a network infrastructure device, a flow of packets, determining, using the network infrastructure device and for a first subset of the packets, that the first subset corresponds to a first datagram and determining a first length of the first datagram, determining, using the network infrastructure device and for a second subset of the packets, that the second subset corresponds to a second datagram that was received after the first datagram, and determining a second length of the second datagram, determining, using the network infrastructure device, a duration value between a first arrival time of the first datagram and a second arrival time of the second datagram, sending, to a collector device that is separate from the network infrastructure device, the first length, the second length, and the duration value for analysis.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service receives administration traffic data in a network associated with a remote administration session in which a control device remotely administers a client device. The service analyzes the administration traffic data to determine whether any portion of the administration traffic data is resulting from an administration session involving a trusted administrator. The service flags a first portion of the administration traffic data as authorized when the first portion of the administration traffic data is determined to result from an administration session involving a trusted administrator, and a second portion of the administration traffic data is non-flagged. The service assesses the second portion of the administration traffic data using a machine learning-based traffic classifier to determine whether the second portion of the administration traffic data is malicious.

    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method comprises performing a posture assessment at a trust anchor in order to determine whether a hardware component is authorized to run on a product. Performing the posture assessment comprises determining a random value (K), encrypting the random value (K) using a long-term key associated with the hardware component in order to yield an encrypted value, communicating the encrypted value to the hardware component, and receiving, from the hardware component, a message encrypted using the random value (K). The message comprises an identifier associated with the hardware component. Performing the posture assessment further comprises determining whether the hardware component is authorized to run on the product based at least in part on the identifier associated with the hardware component. The method further comprises performing an action that depends on whether the hardware component is authorized to run on the product.

    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method performed by a trust anchor comprises determining a random value (K), encrypting the random value (K) using a long-term key associated with a hardware component in order to yield an encrypted value, communicating the encrypted value to the hardware component, and receiving a response encrypted using the random value (K). The response is received from the hardware component. The method further comprise encrypting a schema using the random value (K) and sending the encrypted schema to the hardware component. The schema indicates functionality that the hardware component is authorized to enable.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a traffic inspection service executed by an intermediary device obtains, from a monitoring agent executed by an endpoint device, keying information for an encrypted traffic session between the endpoint device and a remote entity. The traffic inspection service provides a notification to the monitoring agent that acknowledges receipt of the keying information. The traffic inspection service uses the keying information to decrypt encrypted traffic from the encrypted traffic session. The traffic inspection service applies a policy to the encrypted traffic session between the endpoint device and the remote entity, based on the decrypted traffic from the session.
