  • Patent number: 11223653
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains telemetry data regarding an encrypted traffic session in a network. The telemetry data includes Transport Layer Security (TLS) features of the traffic session and auxiliary information indicative of a destination address of the traffic session, a destination port of the traffic session, or a server name associated with the traffic session. The device retrieves, using the obtained telemetry data, a plurality of candidate processes from a TLS fingerprint database that relates processes with telemetry data from encrypted traffic sessions initiated by those processes. The device uses a probabilistic model to assign probabilities to each of the plurality of candidate processes. The device identifies one of the plurality of candidate processes as having initiated the encrypted traffic session based on its assigned probability.

  • Patent number: 11222142
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a data processing consent management system may be configured to utilize one or more age verification techniques to at least partially authenticate the data subject's ability to provide valid consent (e.g., under one or more prevailing legal requirements) in order to collect, store, and or process the subject's personal data. For example, according to one or more particular legal or industry requirements, an individual (e.g., data subject) may need to be at least a particular age (e.g., an age of majority, an adult, over 18, over 21, over 13, or any other suitable age) in order to provide valid consent. Data processing systems may generate and store one or more consent records memorializing valid consent for data processing from data subjects in response to confirming that the data subject is old enough to provide such consent.

  • Patent number: 11218446
    Abstract: A plurality of system nodes coupled via a dedicated private network is described herein. The nodes offer an end-to-end solution for protecting against network-based attacks. The nodes can include network gateways that allow remote systems, such as servers located at an entity's place of operation or a data center accessible by the entity, to securely transmit data between the nodes and the remote systems. For example, the network gateways can transmit split data into different portions, and transmit each portion over a different path through a public network to mitigate the effects of man-in-the-middle attacks. Once data reaches a node, transmission of the data from one node to another can pass through multiple intermediary nodes via the dedicated private network. The nodes and/or remote systems may also include cross-domain guard devices that control whether data can pass from one security domain to another.

  • Patent number: 11218457
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to blockchain and other security technology. In one example of the technology, a first node is endorsed. During endorsement of a first node, a pre-determined type of blockchain or other security protocol code to be authorized and a pre-determined membership list are stored in a trusted execution environment (TEE) of the first node. A determination is made as to whether the membership lists and pre-determined blockchain or other security protocol code to be authorized from the proposed members match. If so, TEE attestation is used to verify that nodes associated with prospective members of the consortium store the pre-determined type of blockchain or other security protocol code to be authorized. Upon TEE attestation being successful, a consortium network is bootstrapped such that the prospective members become members of the consortium network.

  • Patent number: 11206242
    Abstract: An approach is disclosed that receives a request from a first device connected to a first network to connect to a second device connected to a second network. In response to verifying that a connection between the first device and the second device is allowed, the approach operates to establish a secure network communications tunnel between the first device and the second device. The secure network communications tunnel is specific to the first and second devices and the first device is inhibited from accessing other devices that are connected to the second network using the secure network communications tunnel. The secure network communications tunnel is then terminated in response to a detection of a security event.

  • Patent number: 11204986
    Abstract: Control of a prompt for a credential to unlock a computer-readable storage device is provided. Some embodiments permit identifying a component that encrypted the computer-readable storage device and, depending on the identified component, prompting for such a credential. One embodiment can determine that a firmware encrypted the computer-readable storage device and can prompt for a password, for example, to unlock the computer-readable storage device during a boot-up process performed by the firmware. Other embodiments can determine that an operating system encrypted the computer-readable storage device, and can avoid the presentation of a prompt for a password, for example, during a boot-up process performed by the firmware. The computer-readable storage device can be a self-encrypting drive (SED) or another type of disk drive.

  • Patent number: 11184356
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a system for performing seamless authentication and identification of a mobile subscriber requesting to access a 3rd Party Merchant's online platform. The subscriber verification system intercepts a message sent from a first network node to a second network node during a data session establishment procedure. The subscriber verification system extracts a first set of identification values associated with a user equipment (UE) from the intercepted message. After the data session is established, the UE sends an encrypted request to access the Merchant server. The Merchant server identifies a second set of identification values associated with the encrypted request and sends them for validation to the subscriber verification system. The second set of identification values is compared against the first set of identification values. If the two set of identification values match, the UE is authenticated.

  • Patent number: 11178137
    Abstract: A data communication system has an IoT device, an information processing device capable of performing communication with the IoT device, and a server capable of performing communication with the IoT device and the information processing device. When a coupling request from the IoT device is received, the information processing device requests the server for a tentative common key which is temporarily valid. When a request for a tentative common key from the information processing device is received, the server generates a tentative common key and transmits the tentative common key to the information processing device. The information processing device transmits the received tentative common key to the IoT device, and the IoT device and the server perform authentication by using the tentative common key.
