    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a validating peer of a plurality of validating peers in a blockchain network receives, from a non-validating peer, a request to create a root block of a blockchain. The root block includes information related to a potential computer security threat. The validating peer creates the root block with a root block pending validation status. The validating peer shares, with other validating peers of the plurality of validating peers, a notification of the root block with the root block pending validation status to provide an indication of the information. The validating peer determines whether the information is authentic. If the information is determined to be authentic, the validating peer changes the root block pending validation status to a root block authenticated validation status and shares, with the other validating peers, a notification of the root block authenticated validation status to indicate that the information is authentic.

    Abstract: Techniques are presented herein for engagement and disengagement of Transport Layer Security proxy services with encrypted handshaking. In one embodiment, a first initial message of a first encrypted handshaking procedure for a first secure communication session between a first device and a second device is intercepted at a proxy device. The first initial message includes first key exchange information for encrypting the first encrypted handshaking procedure. A copy of the first initial message is stored at the proxy device. A second initial message of a second encrypted handshaking procedure for a second secure communication session between the proxy device and the second device is sent from the proxy device to the second device. The second initial message includes second key exchange information for encrypting the second encrypted handshaking procedure. The proxy device determines, based on the second encrypted handshaking procedure, whether to remain engaged or to disengage.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a centralized controller maintains a plurality of hierarchical behavioral modules of a behavioral model, and distributes initial behavioral modules to data plane entities to cause them to apply the initial behavioral modules to data plane traffic. The centralized controller may then receive data from a particular data plane entity based on its having applied the initial behavioral modules to its data plane traffic. The centralized controller then distributes subsequent behavioral modules to the particular data plane entity to cause it to apply the subsequent behavioral modules to the data plane traffic, the subsequent behavioral modules selected based on the previously received data from the particular data plane entity. The centralized controller may then iteratively receive data from the particular data plane entity and distribute subsequently selected behavioral modules until an attack determination is made on the data plane traffic of the particular data plane entity.

    Abstract: A method for resuming a Transport Layer Security (TLS) session in a Service Function Chain comprising a plurality of Service Function nodes coupled to a Service Function Forwarder. A request is received at a first Service Function node to establish a TLS session, and a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) and a PSK identifier that uniquely correspond to the first Service Function node and the TLS session are generated. The PSK identifier is forwarded to one or more of the Service Function Forwarder and the plurality of Service Function nodes. A request to resume the TLS session is received from a client device that previously disconnected. It is determined that the connection request contains the PSK identifier, a second Service Function node is selected, and the TLS session is re-established between the client device and the second Service Function node using the same PSK as the prior TLS session.

    Abstract: An optimized approach to whitelisting includes, at a domain name service server, determining whether a first domain and a second domain resolve to a same Internet Protocol (IP) address, and in response to a request from a domain name service proxy as to whether the first domain resolves to an IP address shared by another domain, notifying the domain name service proxy that the first domain resolves to an IP address shared by another domain. The method further includes the domain name service proxy receiving from the domain name service server a response that indicates that the first domain resolves to an IP address shared by another domain, and storing, in memory, the IP address and an indication that the IP address is shared by another domain. A data flow associated with a shared IP address is subjected to further scrutiny even if the IP address is on a whitelist.
