Abstract: Malicious attacks by certain devices against a radio access network (RAN) can be detected and mitigated, while allowing communication of priority messages. A security management component (SMC) can determine whether a malicious attack against the RAN is occurring based on a defined baseline that indicates whether a malicious attack is occurring. The defined baseline is determined based on respective characteristics associated with respective devices that are determined based on analysis of information relating to the devices. In response to determining there is a malicious attack, SMC determines whether to block connections of devices to the RAN based on respective priority levels associated with respective messages being communicated by the devices.

Abstract: A secure update is provided from a server to an end-point device. The server registers digital information, such as a name or a software package, and a verifiable key, such as a cryptographic hash, derived from the digital information. A publicly accessible transaction log stores the verifiable key in a block and provides an identifier of the block to the server. An end-point device receives the digital information and the identifier, and computes a separate verifiable key. The end-point device retrieves the verifiable key from the block of the publicly accessible transaction log, and compares the retrieved verifiable key to the separate verifiable key to determine whether the digital information has been compromised.

Also disclosed is receiving the token, with a service request message, at an entry point to the chain, decrypting the base information and verifying authorization for initiation of the service chain with an authorization service.

Abstract: A multiple-identity secure device (MISD) persistently may store an identification code. The identification code may be stored in an integral memory of the device, or on an interchangeable card received in a physical interface of the MISD. The MISD may generate one or more unique identities (e.g., network addresses) from the stored identification code. The generated identities may be dynamically generated or may be securely stored in the MISD for subsequent retrieval. The generated identities may generate in accordance with an addressing scheme, a global/network setting, or as determined from a received data transmission.

Abstract: A method includes accessing a first intelligence feed including a plurality of cybersecurity incidents. A second intelligence feed is generated including a plurality of technical indicators defined on one or more virtual private network internet point of presence (“VPN internet PoP”) that connects a plurality of VPN tunnels to an internet. The first and second intelligence feeds are compared, a particular incident is determined, and a time frame of the particular incident is determined. Use of a particular VPN internet PoP by a plurality of sources including a plurality of clients is monitored to determine a plurality of time-based behaviors. The plurality of time-based behaviors are compared to the particular incident and to the time frame to determine a match. A particular source is blocked at the particular VPN internet PoP based on the determination of the match.

Abstract: Typically, clients request a service from a computer hosting multiple services by specifying a destination port number associated with the desired service. In embodiments, the functionality of such a host computer is enhanced by having it condition client access to services available at a particular port number based on client authentication and/or authorization. A host computer can change the service(s) available at a given port number on a client by client basis, enabling access to service(s) for trusted clients unavailable to untrusted clients. Preferably, client trust is based on client authentication via a certificate and a valid, signed transport layer security (TLS) handshake (or similar mechanism in other protocol contexts). In some embodiments, an authorization step can be added following authentication. The systems and methods disclosed herein find wide uses in bundling services on ports, as well as protecting access to services from untrusted and/or malicious clients, among others.

The method comprises directing, from a security assessing server, to a software program under execution, a plurality of attack vectors, diagnosing a set of results associated with the software program under execution as comprising a security vulnerability, the set of results produced based at least in part on the plurality of attack vectors, and assessing a monetary premium of a risk insurance policy merited by an enterprise based at least in part on a level of control ceded to an attacker in accordance with the set of results.

Abstract: The described technology provides a capability to perform in-session updates to entitlements associated with a user's access to content served by a web application. The content may be from one or more external servers. The technology provides for automatically detecting changes to entitlements, and without requiring a user of an active session to initiate a new session, updating entitlement data in a memory such that subsequent requests for data made by the client in the same active session are serviced using the updated entitlements.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to reducing error in security enforcement by a network security system (abbreviated NSS). The NSS classifies incoming connection access requests as loss prevention inspectable or connection preserving by determining their conformance or non-conformance with semantic and content requirements of HTTP and HTTPs protocols. The NSS forwards the loss prevention inspectable connection access requests to a data inspection and loss prevention appliance (abbreviated DILPA) for deep inspection. The NSS directly sends the connection preserving connection access requests to the destination servers, preventing connection termination and error generation.

Abstract: A first arithmetic input share and a second arithmetic input share of an initial arithmetically-masked cryptographic value are received. A sequence of operations using the arithmetic input shares and a randomly generated number is performed, where a current operation in the sequence of operations generates a corresponding intermediate value that is used in a subsequent operation. At the end of the sequence of operations, a first Boolean output share and a second Boolean output share are generated. The arithmetic-to-Boolean mask conversion is independent of the input bit length.
