Patent number: 11985204Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transferring state between devices. In one implementation, a gestural input is detected, and a state of a source application is transferred from a first device to a second device in response to the gestural input. The second device may then generate an instance of a target application that corresponds to a representation of the state of the source application received from the first device. In an additional implementation, a state of the target application is transferred from the second device to the first device. The first device then updates a state of the source application to correspond to a representation of the state of the target application received from the second device.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Norihiro Edwin Aoki, Christina Wick, Todd Brannam, Leotis Givens, Jr.

Patent number: 11983268Abstract: A service prevents attacks carried out through container escape for silo-based containers. A callback is registered for a function(s) that may be invoked from inside a container and returns an object handle(s). The callback, when triggered by invocation of the function(s), executes for determination of whether requests for access to objects via their handles are issued by suspicious processes. Access to CExecSvc.exe is restricted for processes that request a handle for CExecSvc.exe and are determined to be associated with a container themselves. Processes that escape their container through a technique that evades detection are also blocked from accessing the host system. When a process requests access to an object via invocation of a function that returns a handle, the callback executes for determination of whether the process but not the requested object is associated with a container, in which case the service restricts the process' access to the host system.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Palo Alto Networks, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Prizmant, Ariel M. Zelivansky, Liron Levin, Eran Yanay
