Methods and systems for providing virtual desktop infrastructure via secure classified remote access as a service
An internet end-user device includes a processor, a network interface controller; and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the end-user device to configure the end-user device to use a red network and perform dependency verification of the end-user device. A method includes configuring an end-user device to use a red network; and performing dependency verification of the end-user device. A non-transitory computer readable medium includes program instructions that when executed, cause an internet end-user device for use by end users to configure the end-user device to use a red network and perform dependency verification of the end-user device.
1. An internet end-user device for use by end users, the end-user device including:
one or more processors,
one or more network interface controllers; and
a memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the end-user device to:
configure, via the one or more processors, the end-user device to connect to one or more remote services via an offline red network;
perform, via the one or more processors, dependency verification with respect to the configuration of the end-user device;
push, when the end-user device does not have an active internet connection, user data into a staging area; and
synchronize, when an active internet connection is detected, the user data to an online red network.
2. The end-user device of claim 1 , the memory including further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the end-user device to:
initialize the end-user device in response to a waking up of the end-user device.
3. The end-user device of claim 1 , the memory including further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the end-user device to:
determine whether a current configuration of the end-user device includes at least one of an active directory configuration, a recursive DNS configuration, a port forwarding configuration, or a public-key infrastructure server configuration.
4. The end-user device of claim 1 , the memory including further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the end-user device to:
remove access to a network tunnel between the end-user device and one or more red networks in response to a condition.
5. The end-user device of claim 1 , the memory including further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the end-user device to:
renew one or more cryptographic certificates in the end-user device.
6. The end-user device of claim 1 , the memory including further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors cause the end-user device to:
access one or more virtual desktop images.
7. A computer-implemented method for providing a virtual desktop infrastructure to an internet end-user device for use by end users via secure classified remote access as a service, comprising:
configuring, via one or more processors, the end-user device to connect to one or more remote services via an offline red network;
perform, via the one or more processors, dependency verification with respect to the configuration of the end-user device;
pushing, when the end-user device does not have an active internet connection, user data into a staging area; and
synchronizing, when an active internet connection is detected, the user data via an online red network path.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
initializing the end-user device in response to a waking up of the end-user device.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
establishing one or more network tunnels between the end-user device and one or more remote computer networks by establishing tunnel links from the end-user device to one or more black networks, one or more gray networks, and one or more red networks.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein performing the dependency verification includes determining whether a current configuration of the end-user device includes at least one of an active directory configuration, a recursive DNS configuration, a port forwarding configuration, or a public-key infrastructure server configuration.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:
enforcing one or more policy rules with respect to the configuration of the end-user device by removing access to one or more network tunnels between the end-user device and the one or more remote computer networks in response to a condition.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
causing the end-user device to access the virtual desktop infrastructure via one or more network tunnels by accessing one or more virtual desktop images via the end-user device.
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions that when executed, cause an internet end-user device for use by end users to:
configure, via one or more processors, the end-user device to connect to one or more remote services via an offline red network;
perform, via one or more processors, dependency verification with respect to the configuration of the end-user device;
push, when the end-user device does not have an active internet connection, user data into a staging area; and
synchronize, when an active internet connection is detected, the user data to an online red network.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , containing further program instructions that when executed, cause the end-user device to:
determine whether a current configuration of the end-user device includes at least one of an active directory configuration, a recursive DNS configuration, a port forwarding configuration, or a public-key infrastructure server configuration.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , containing further program instructions that when executed, cause the end-user device to:
renew one or more cryptographic certificates in the end-user device.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , containing further program instructions that when executed, cause the end-user device to:
remove access to one or more network tunnels between the end-user device and a second red network in response to a condition.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , containing further program instructions that when executed, cause the end-user device to:
access one or more virtual desktop images via the end-user device.
