  • Patent number: 10990672
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method for obtaining a virus library performed at a computing system. The computing system obtains a sample set, each sample being a malicious installation package. The computing system extracts a group of sample features from each sample as a sample feature set. The computing system performs feature selection on the sample feature set, to obtain at least one group of target features, each target feature meeting a first preset condition. The computing system then updates the at least one group of target features to a virus library. An antivirus platform determines whether the feature of a to-be-detected installation package comprises any group of target features in the virus library and determines that the to-be-detected installation package is a malicious installation package when the feature of the to-be-detected installation package comprises any group of target features in the virus library.

  • Patent number: 10956313
    Abstract: In an approach for testing an application for a security vulnerability, a processor inserts an instrumentation hook in the application to be tested, wherein the instrumentation hook is executed prior to a sink operation. A processor transmits a probe input value to the application to be tested. A processor detects a modification to the probe input value at the instrumentation hook by comparing the probe input value at the instrumentation hook to a signature value and detecting that the probe input value matches the signature value. A processor removes the sink operation from testing for the security vulnerability.

  • Patent number: 10949520
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for validating an action using a physical token, such as a near-field-communications (NFC)-capable chip. A server may receive a request to perform the action, and may require validation from the holder of the physical token. The holder of the physical token may log into an application using their login credentials, providing a first tier of authentication. The holder may then scan the physical token with a reader on their mobile device, which provides a second tier of authentication. The scan may reveal a value for a counter on the physical token, which may be compared to a counter at the server in order to validate that the physical token has been used as expected. If the server deems it appropriate, a third (or further) tier may be required, such as scanning a photographic identification of the holder.

  • Patent number: 10944752
    Abstract: A computing system includes a processor and a data store coupled to the processor. The computing system provides access to electronic content stored in the data store. A user interface component receives an indication of an external user with which to share an item of electronic content. A link generation component is generates a link to share the item of electronic content. An access control component receives a request from a requestor to access the item of electronic content using the link, and responsively verify an identity of a requestor. The user interface component provides access to the item of electronic content to the requestor if the identity was verified and receives a user input indicative of an external account binding request. The access control component determines if the requestor has authenticated with the external account and selectively binds the link to the external account if the user authenticates with the external account.
