Abstract
Techniques for managing network connections are described. An apparatus may comprise a communications component operative to manage a connection for a client, the connection routed over a network and a traffic analysis component operative to determine one or more characteristics of the routing of the connection. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims30
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor component of a server included in a cloud computing system configured to provide a service to manage routing of a connection for a client over a network;
- a traffic analysis component for execution by the processing component to determine one or more characteristics of the routing of the connection, the one or more characteristics including a physical location of routing points of the routing of the connection and determined based on performing an encrypted exchange with a plurality of routing points of the connection, the encrypted exchanges including public-key based verification of identifying information of the plurality of routing points;
- and
- a network control component for execution by the processing component to determine whether to block the connection based on the one or more determined characteristics.
A method comprising:
- managing, at a server included in a cloud computing system, a connection for a client, the connection routed over a network;
- determining one or more characteristics of the routing of the connection, the one or more characteristics including a physical location of routing points of the routing of the connection and determined based on performing an encrypted exchange with a plurality of routing points of the connection, the encrypted exchanges including public-key based verification of identifying information of the plurality of routing points;
- and
- determining whether to block the connection based on the one or more determined characteristics.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a system at a server of a cloud computing system arranged to provide a service to manage routing of a connection for a client over a network, the instructions to cause the system to:
- determine one or more characteristics of the routing of the connection, the one or more characteristics including a physical location of routing points of the routing of the connection and determined based on performing an encrypted exchange with a plurality of routing points of the connection, the encrypted exchanges including public-key based verification of identifying information of the plurality of routing points;
- and
- determine whether to block the connection based on the one or more determined characteristics.
