  • Patent number: 10445527
    Abstract: A system for differential privacy is provided. In some implementations, the system performs operations comprising receiving a plurality of indices for a plurality of perturbed data points, which are anonymized versions of a plurality of unperturbed data points, wherein the plurality of indices indicate that the plurality of unperturbed data points are identified as presumed outliers. The plurality of perturbed data points can lie around a first center point and the plurality of unperturbed data points can lie around a second center point. The operations can further comprise classifying a portion of the presumed outliers as true positives and another portion of the presumed outliers as false positives, based upon differences in distances to the respective first and second center points for the perturbed and corresponding (e.g., same index) unperturbed data points. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

  • Patent number: 10419427
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a password risk evaluator may receive a request including a user identifier (ID) and a password. The password risk evaluator may retrieve a password preference model associated with the user ID, and may determine a risk score indicating a likelihood that the password is associated with the user ID. For example, the password preference model may be based on previous passwords used by the user, and may identify one or more characteristics, formulas, rules, or other indicia typically employed by the user in creating passwords. If the password supplied in the request matches or is similar to one or more elements of the password preference model, it may be more likely that the password in the request is a password supplied by the user. That is, the risk score may be an authentication of the user, or part of the authentication of the user, in some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 10403174
    Abstract: A processor device has an executable implementation of a cryptographic algorithm implemented thereon that is white-box-masked by a function f. The implementation comprises an implemented computation step S by which input values x are mapped to output values s=S[x], and which is masked to a white-box-masked computation step T? by means of an invertible function f. As a mapping f there is provided a combination (f=(c1, c2, . . . )*A) of an affine mapping A having an entry width BA and a number of one or several invertible mappings c1, c2, . . . having an entry width Bc1, Bc2, . . . respectively, wherein BA=Bc1+Bc2+ . . . . Output values w are generated altogether by the mapping f. The affine mapping A is constructed by a construction method coordinated with the invertible mappings c1, c2, and etc.

  • Patent number: 10404751
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dynamic method for automated Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) custom correlation rule generation through the use of an interactive network visualization. The visualization is based on log data received from network endpoints and inputs received from a user, and is provided to the user for feedback before the SIEM custom correlation rules are automatically generated based on the visualization. The automatically generated SIEM custom correlation rules are then used to determine whether to trigger actions based on event data received from the network endpoints.

  • Patent number: 10397199
    Abstract: A system for creating an account with an identity provider. The system receives a request to create an identity provider account with the identity provider for use in logging onto a third-party system. The system generates one or more display pages for providing an integrated-consent user experience. The integrated-consent user experience includes a display page for collecting both new-account information and scope-of-consent information whereby a user consents to share information with the third-party system. After the user provides the new-account information that includes user credentials for the identity provider account and consents to share account information of the identity provider account with the third-party system, the system creates the identity provider account for the user.

  • Patent number: 10387645
    Abstract: A method to recognize whether a user of an electronic terminal is a human or a robot is described. This method provides to take an image and decompose the image in a multitude of image portions. The image portions are randomly visualized inside a test area of an electronic terminal. The method provides to detect the movement of a cursor inside the test area, and to move each image portion inside the test area according to a trajectory which depends on the position of the cursor inside the test area. When the cursor is in a solution position inside the test area, the image portions combine into the original image. The coordinates of the solution position are randomly generated, and to these coordinates is associated a solution area which comprises the coordinates of the solution position. In order to recognize if a user of an electronic terminal is a human or a robot, the method tests if the cursor position is inside the solution area when the user inputs a control signal.

  • Patent number: 10331902
    Abstract: Techniques for providing data loss prevention, including data exfiltration prevention and crypto-ransomware prevention, are provided. In some embodiments, a slack-space file system is created by using a modified packing algorithm to increase and/or optimize an amount of slack space created by files stored in a standard file system. A program for accessing and indexing the slack-space file system may be stored, and requests by a user to store data on a storage medium of a computer system may cause the information to be stored in the slack-space file system, where it may be protected from destructive malware that operates solely on the standard file system. In some embodiments, sensitive information may be hidden by storing the information in an alternate data stream of a file and by replacing the information in the unnamed data stream of the file with non-sensitive information that may appear to be sensitive.
