Abstract: A plurality of distributed network nodes may provide a decentralized access gateway to multiple, diverse types of databases. The plurality of distributed network nodes may host a private party blockchain. Each node may execute a peer-to-peer (P2P) client to perform operations associated with the private party blockchain. A subset of the nodes may be configured as validator nodes that may implement gossip protocols to cooperatively validate one or more database operations and generate a new block for the private party blockchain. Another subset of nodes may be configured as host nodes that may receive the new block and update a corresponding local copy of the private party blockchain appending the new block. Utilizing the co-operative validation of database operations and the updates appending the new blocks, the private party blockchain may maintain an immutable digital record of access and updates to the multiple and diverse types of databases.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enhancing security of communications between instances of clients and servers while enabling rotation of server certificates (e.g., X.509 certificates). The systems described herein involve updating a client list of server certificates (e.g., a certificate thumbprint) without reconfiguring or re-installing a client and/or server application, starting a new session (e.g., a hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) session), or deploying new code. The systems described herein may passively or actively update a client list of certificates to enable a client to security verify an identity of a server instance in a non-invasive way that boosts security from man-in-the-middle types of attacks.

Abstract: A digital platform enables 3D printing where the designs are protected from piracy/redistribution. A single board computer (SBC) communicates with a first server and a second server. The SBC requests a unique hardware ID from the first server, which assigns and sends the ID to the SBC. The SBC submits the ID and a secret key to the second server to request registration of a user and a printer, and the second server sends private certs, a client ID, and a unique public identifier to the SBC. The second server also receives and stores 3D print designs through a designer portal, and on-demand displays the designs in a GUI screen. The SBC user may purchase a 3D print design, and the second server, in response, sends an access token to the SBC.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise a computing device, which allows in-network and network-border protection for Internet of things (IoT) devices by securely partitioning network space and defining service-based access to IoT devices. The disclosed segmented attack prevention system for IoT networks (SAPSIN) segments the IoT network into two virtual networks: a service network and a control network; and define access control rules for each virtual network. In the service network, SAPSIN utilizes a service-based approach to control device access, allowing only configured protocol, applications, network ports, or address groups to enter or exit the network. In control network, the SAPSIN provides the access control rules by defining a threshold for the number of configuration requests within a predetermined time. As a result, SAPSIN protects IoT devices against intrusion and misuse, without the need for device-specific software or device-specific security hardening.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a memory controller that has an encryption path and a bypass path. Using an indicator (e.g., a dedicated address range), an outside entity can inform the memory controller whether to use the encryption path or the bypass path. For example, using the encryption path when performing a write request means the memory controller encrypts the data before it was stored, while using the bypass path means the data is written into memory without be encrypted. Similarly, using the encryption path when performing a read request means the controller decrypts the data before it is delivered to the requesting entity, while using the bypass path means the data is delivered without being decrypted.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to switching a neural processor circuit between non-secure and secure modes. A security controller of the neural processor circuit indicates that a transition from the non-secure mode to the secure mode is to occur. The security controller waits for a neural task manager of the neural processor circuit to clear out any existing non-secure tasks in queues. After the existing non-secure mode tasks are cleared, the security controller switches the neural processor circuit to the secure mode. While in the secure mode, secure tasks are added to one or more queues and executed, and data for processing in the neural processor circuit is received from a secure source. The neural processor circuit may to transition back to the non-secure mode when all secure mode tasks are completed.

Abstract: A processing device is configured to process an initial set of command types. A command extension module and a digital signature are received. The digital signature is generated based on the command extension module using a private key of a key pair. The command extension module, once installed by the processing device, enables the processing device to process a new command type that is not included in the initial set of command types. The digital signature is verified using a public key of the key pair. Based on a successful verification of the digital signature, the command extension module is temporarily installed by loading the command extension module in a volatile memory device.
