  • Patent number: 11522872
    Abstract: A transceiver for sending and receiving data from a controller area network (CAN) bus is disclosed. The transceiver includes a microcontroller port, a transmitter and a receiver. The transceiver is configured to receive a data frame from a microcontroller via the microcontroller port and to determine if the microcontroller is authorized to send the data frame or part of it based on a message identifier in the data frame and the outcome of the arbitration process. If the microcontroller is unauthorized to send the data, the transceiver is configured to invalidate the data frame and disconnect the microcontroller from the CAN bus for a predetermined period.

  • Patent number: 11477334
    Abstract: Techniques for signer-initiated electronic document signing via an electronic signature service using a mobile or other client device are described. Example embodiments provide an electronic signature service (“ESS”) configured to facilitate the creation, storage, and management of documents and corresponding electronic signatures. In some embodiments, when a signer user receives a hard copy (e.g., paper) signature document, the signer may capture an image of the signature document with a camera of a mobile device. The signer can then import the captured image into the ESS for signature, storage, and/or transmission to other parties.

  • Patent number: 11423172
    Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more sensors capturing media content from an environment of the electronic device. A location detector determines whether the environment of the electronic device is situated at a location of residence of an authorized user of the electronic device. A user interface receives user input requesting transmission of the media content to another electronic device located outside the location of residence of the authorized user of the electronic device. One or more processors preclude transmission of the media content to the other electronic device in response to the user input when the location detector determines that one or more sensors captured the media content at the location of residence of the authorized user of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11363039
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to detecting data leaks using targeted scanning. For example, in various embodiments, a scanner module may monitor communications between a user device and a server system, where the user device requests access to a resource provided via the server system. The scanner module may perform various data loss prevention operations to detect the leaking of sensitive data associated with an organization. For example, the scanner module may perform an initial scan of the resource to capture an initial version of the resource at an establishment of a connection between the user device and the server system. The scanner module may perform a subsequent scan that captures a subsequent version of the resource. Based on the initial and subsequent versions of the resource, the scanner module may determine whether any data loss prevention rules have been violated and, if so, initiate one or more corrective actions.

  • Patent number: 11363060
    Abstract: The technology described herein helps improve email security within a multi-tenant email service. In particular, the technology described herein helps make it more difficult for a first tenant of the email service to impersonate a second tenant of the email service by validating the sending domain before the email leaves the multi-tenant email service. In particular, the technology runs a sending-side source validation on an email. If the source validation fails, the email is still sent, but using a source IP address that will cause the email to fail a receiving-side email authentication tests, such as the sender policy framework (SPF) email authentication test. In contrast, if the source validation passes, the email is sent using a source IP address that will cause the email to pass the receiving-side email authentication tests.

  • Patent number: 11336683
    Abstract: Disclosed herein includes a system, a method, and a device for preventing replay attacks in a cluster. A first node in the cluster having a plurality of nodes can receive an indication of a node event. The first node can access a first sequence number from a storage corresponding to a previous communication between the plurality of nodes. The first node can adjust the first sequence number by a delta indicative of an average number of communications between the plurality of nodes in the cluster in a determined time period to generate a second sequence number. The first node can transmit a packet including the second sequence number to the plurality of nodes in the cluster. The second sequence number can be used by the plurality of nodes to reset a starting sequence number for communications between the plurality of nodes to prevent replay attacks in the cluster.

  • Patent number: 11271915
    Abstract: A system for authenticating a user associated with a plurality of user devices using a plurality of types of authentication information. The system includes an electronic computing device including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from a user device, a request to access sensitive information and send, to the user device, a request for a first accuracy measurement for a first type of authentication information. When first accuracy measurement is below a predetermined threshold, the electronic processor sends to the user device a request for a second accuracy measurement for a second type of authentication information. When the second accuracy measurement is above or equal to the predetermined threshold, the electronic processor authenticates the user and lowers the predetermined threshold for each user device associated with a user profile, records an anomaly associated with the first type of the authentication information, or both.
