  • Patent number: 11252137
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques enable selective forwarding and blocking of emails directed to an alias email address based on a whitelist, as well as text message alerts triggered by emails from unauthorized senders. More generally, the disclosed techniques enable an enterprise system to store contact emails for users (i.e., alias email addresses) while avoiding storing and managing personal email addresses for the user. For example, the enterprise system may forward personal email addresses to an aliasing server configured to generate alias email addresses based on the personal email addresses. The aliasing server may operate as a “middle man” that receives emails directed to the alias email addresses and that forwards the emails to the personal email addresses (when appropriate). The enterprise system may store and maintain the alias email addresses in lieu of the personal email addresses.

  • Patent number: 11200133
    Abstract: In one example, a network management system (NMS) and method discovers device roles for network devices. The NMS includes a learning module configured to include a learning model, the learning model trained to associate configuration segments for each of a plurality of network devices with device roles performed by the network devices. The NMS discovers a network service on a network, receives configuration information from the discovered network service and splits the configuration information received from the discovered network service into configuration segments based on a vendor neutral yang model associated with the discovered network service. The NMS then determines if the discovered network service performs one or more of the device roles performed by the network devices used to train the learning model, wherein determining includes applying the learning model to the configuration segments of the discovered network service.

  • Patent number: 11196723
    Abstract: An encrypted control system, an encrypted control method, and an encrypted control program make it possible to further reduce a risk of a cipher key leaking. An input device, a plant-side control device, and a controller are respectively equipped with pseudorandom number calculation units having a common function, are time synchronized, and start a synchronized operation at the same time. Since the encrypted control system is configured in such a manner, it becomes possible to switch a pair of a public key and a private key in synchronization with a control cycle of the entire control system. Consequently, it becomes possible to instantaneously and definitely detect intervention in the control system by a malicious third party.
