whitepaper The BiGuard SSL VPN Appliances: BiGuard SSL VPN Gateway VPN Functionality and Introduction2008-03-19 Billion Electric
  To provide a secure long distance access is a key requirement for those enterprises whose employees need to work from remote places to require the resource of an enterprise. If enterprises want to keep their productivity under the environment of their employees working from remote offices, internet cafes or hotels, then they need a solution to solve the difficulty of acquiring company's resource from remote places. VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology built upon the current Internet infrastructure. It creates secure encrypted VPN tunnels between two points. Since VPN is more secure and cost effective than those traditional leased line or private networks, such as ATM, MPLS, or Frame Relay, so VPN is widely accepted and recognized by enterprises.

whitepaper Protecting Your Brand & Customers: Business Value of Extended Validation SSL Certificates2008-01-17 Microsoft
  EV certificates are designed to provide solutions to help both consumers and businesses combat online threats. An EV certificate contains verified information about the legal entity behind a website, allowing users to make better trust decisions about whom they are transacting with on the internet. Because the entity verification process is uniform across all issuing CAs, users should become more comfortable trusting a site that displays the Internet Explorer 7 EV indicators or similar indicators in other browsers. Business and users are encouraged to deploy Internet Explorer to maximize online safety including dynamic anti-phishing protection via the Microsoft Phishing Filter, support for EV Certificates, product support and other privacy and security enhancements.

whitepaper A Client-Transparent Approach to Defend Against Denial of Service Attacks2008-01-01 IBM
  Denial of Service (DoS) attacks attempt to consume a server's resources (network bandwidth, computing power, main memory, disk bandwidth etc) to near exhaustion so that there are no resources left to handle requests from legitimate clients. An effective solution to defend against DoS attacks is to filter DoS attack requests at the earliest point (say, the web site's firewall), before they consume much of the server's resources. Most defenses against DoS attacks attempt to filter requests from inauthentic clients before they consume much of the server's resources. Client authentication using techniques like IPSec or SSL may often require changes to the client-side software and may additionally require superuser privileges at the client for deployment.

whitepaper Accelerating Application-Level Security Protocols2008-01-01 Columbia University
  This paper presents a minimal extension to the BSD socket layer that can improve the performance of application-level security protocols, such as SSH or SSL/TLS, by 10%, when hardware cryptographic accelerators are available in the system. Applications specify what cryptographic transforms must be applied to incoming and outgoing data frames, and such processing is applied by the operating system itself (exploiting hardware accelerators) when the application sends or receives data. Under this scheme, user can reduce the number of system calls and context switches by 50%, and the amount of data copying by 66%. The paper describes the prototype implementation for the OpenBSD system and quantify its performance implications.
