  • Patent number: 11743046
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive a first credential associated with a first account and a second credential associated with a second account and may instruct a cloud service, using the first credential, to generate a first snapshot of structured source data associated with the first account. The system may authorize the first account and the second account to use a master encryption key and instruct the cloud service to encrypt the first snapshot using the master encryption key. The system may instruct the cloud service, using the second credential, to copy the first snapshot to a second snapshot associated with the second account and to decrypt the second snapshot into structured target data using the master encryption key. The system may deauthorize the first account and the second account from using the master encryption key and output an indicator of completion to a user device.

  • Patent number: 11736454
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for securing confidential content in a virtual meeting. In an example, a host can create a meeting agenda that identifies attendees and access restrictions for the meeting. A server can generate encryption keys corresponding to different confidentiality levels of content identified in the agenda. The encryption keys can be provided to user devices of the attendees based on the access permissions of the attendees. As the virtual meeting takes place, the server can encrypt confidential portions of the content stream for the meeting using the encryption keys. In an example, the server can also apply a machine learning algorithm to identify any confidential content in the content stream not previously identified. The server can encrypt additional confidential content where appropriate using encryption keys corresponding to the confidentiality level of the content.

  • Patent number: 11736469
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing session management functionalities using an access token (e.g., an Open Authorization (OAuth) access token). Upon successful user authentication, a session (e.g., a single sign-on session) is created for the user along with a user identity token that includes information identifying the session. The user identity token is presentable in an access token request sent to an access token issuer authority (e.g., an OAuth server). Upon receiving the access token request, the user identity token is parsed to identify and validate the session against information stored for the session. The validation can include various session management-related checks. If the validation is successful, the token issuer authority generates the access token. In this manner, the access token that is generated is linked to the session. The access token can then be used by an application to gain access to a protected resource.

  • Patent number: 11736453
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods to establish a secure channel of communication with a remote computer using a memory device having a host system. The memory device stores a first cryptographic key representative of an identity of the host system and a second cryptographic key usable to validate an identity of the remote computer. The memory device controls, based on cryptography and independent of the file system, access to the first cryptographic key and the second cryptographic key. To establish the secure channel, an application running in the host system communicates with the memory device to generate, using the first cryptographic key, a first verification code for a first message of the remote computer without revealing the first cryptographic key to the host system, and to validate, using the second cryptographic key, a second verification code generated by the remote computer for a second message from the application.

  • Patent number: 11722478
    Abstract: A system and method provide access to a remote resource locally by requesting content from an original address and receiving a first requested content and a first redirect uniform resource locator in response. The first redirect uniform resource locator reroutes the navigation from the original address requested to a redirect destination address that serves an access token. The system and method unlock access to a second application programming interface in response to validating the access token served by the redirect destination address and receives a second requested content and a second redirect uniform resource locator in response to transmitting the access token to the original address. The second redirect uniform resource locator transfers a user to an environment residing at an address different from the original address and the redirect destination address.
