First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system that provides access to remote resources that utilize Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) protocol comprising:
- an access control component that determines whether an intended destination requires a packet from a client to be secured; and
a gateway component secures the packet and transmits a secured packet to the intended destination.

Abstract
An architecture that can provide for improved network content filtering is described herein. In particular, access to remote resources can be controlled by a remote mechanism. In accordance therewith, a gateway can seamlessly and/or transparently redirect packets from a client that are meant for an intended destination to an access control component. The access control component can determine whether the client has access to the resources requested. In addition, the gateway can provide IPSec features on behalf to the client.

18. A method for facilitating IPSec support in a controlled access environment, comprising:
-
receiving an unsecured packet from a client;
redirecting the packet for determining whether an intended destination for the packet utilizes an IPSec policy; and

20. A computer-implemented system that facilitates IPSec support in a controlled access environment comprising:
-
computer-implemented means for receiving an unsecured packet from a client;
computer-implemented means for re-routing the packet in order to ascertain whether an intended destination for the packet employs an IPSec protocol;
computer-implemented means for encrypting the packet in accordance with the IPSec protocol; and
computer-implemented means for creating an IPSec connection session between the client and the intended destination.
