Title: Distributed filesystem network security extension
Inventor: KEOHANE SUSANN MARIE
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 2004-04-15
Granted: 2011-03-29
Abstract: A security protocol that dynamically implements enhanced mount security of a filesystem when access to sensitive files on a networked filesystem is requested. When the user of a client system attempts to access a specially-tagged sensitive file, the server hosting the filesystem executes a software code that terminates the current mount and reconfigures the server ports to accept a re-mount from the client via a more secure port. The server reconfigured server port is provided the IP address of the client and matches the IP address during the re-mount operation. The switch to a secure mount is completed in a seamless manner so that authorized users are allowed to access sensitive files without bogging down the server with costly encryption and other resource-intensive security features. No significant delay is experienced by the user, while the sensitive file is shielded from unauthorized capture during transmission to the client system.
