  • Patent number: 11316780
    Abstract: A verifier peer system transmits a request to an application of another peer system to obtain integrity data of the application. In response to the request, the verifier peer system obtains a response that includes kernel secure boot metrics of the other peer system and integrity data of the application and of any application dependencies. If the verifier peer system determines that the response is valid, the verifier peer system evaluates the integrity data and the kernel secure boot metrics against a set of Known Good Values to determine whether the integrity data and the kernel secure boot metrics are valid. If the integrity data and the kernel secure boot metrics are valid, the verifier peer system determines that the other peer system is trustworthy.

  • Patent number: 11314848
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, and computer program product for dynamically appending and transforming static activity data transmitted to a user device application. In particular, the invention provides a secure platform for dynamic restructuring and inter-connection of inline activity data. The system first determines that a first user, via a first networked device, has initiated a first electronic activity. The system then constructs and transmits a first static activity data set to a second resource application of the second networked device associated with the second user. The system then alters the transmitted first static activity data set of the first electronic activity, in response to the second user modifying an activity parameter item of the first electronic activity, in situ, prior to finalization authorization processing of the first electronic activity by a recipient system, without requiring initialization of an additional electronic activity.
