Publication number: 20170134435Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for provisioning access rights to physical computing resources using an IAM system implementing an IAM data model. The IAM data model may identify logical and physical computing resources. An access request handler may receive an access request and identify a set of logical permissions based on the access request. The access request handler may derive a set of logical entitlements based on the set of logical permissions. An entitlement translator may translate the set of logical entitlements to a physical entitlement specification based on a set of physical permission specifications associated with the set of logical permissions. A physical permission specification may be obtained by mapping a logical permission to one or more physical permissions. An access control manager may then provision access rights to at least one physical computing resource indicated in the physical entitlement specification.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2017Publication date: May 11, 2017Inventors: John Kling, Bryan Thompson, Ward Green

Patent number: 9495380Abstract: Systems and methods of conducting access reviews of access rights to logical computing resources are provided. An access reviewer may receive a selection indicating a user having access to one or more logical computing resources of a computer system. The access reviewer may identify a set of current logical computing resources that the user has access to and a set of current logical entitlements associated with the user. The access reviewer may generate an access review summary based on a comparison of the current logical computing resources to one or more of the current logical entitlements.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: John Kling, Bryan Thompson, Ward Green

Patent number: 9489390Abstract: Systems and methods for reconciling access rights provisioned for physical computing resources of a computer system are provided. A reconciler may identify current physical computing resources accessible to a user account of the computer system and a physical entitlement specification associated with the user account. The reconciler may determine whether adjustment of access rights is needed based on a comparison of the current physical computing resources to the physical entitlement specification. Access rights to at least one physical computing resource may be adjusted in response to a determination that adjustment of access rights is needed.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: John Kling, Bryan Thompson, Ward Green

Patent number: 9483488Abstract: Systems and methods of verifying separation-of-duties (SoD) for requested access rights to physical computing resources are provided. An SoD verifier may receive and access request and obtain a set of current permissions associated with a requestee specified in the access request. The SoD verifier may also obtain a set of new permissions to provision for the requestee based on the access request. The SoD verifier may determine whether one of the current permissions is incompatible with one of the new permissions. The SoD verifier may provide an indication of whether the access request represents an SoD violation.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2013Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: John Kling, Bryan Thompson, Ward Green

Patent number: 8768505Abstract: A system and method for providing a pre-paid product using a unique container. The system comprises a computer system comprising a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and stored instructions for execution by the processing circuit. The computer system includes a sales module that acquires an identifier for the unique container and generates a credential ID for a customer. The sales module also activates the unique container, and stores the identifier for the unique container and the corresponding credential ID in the storage medium. Also included is a dispensing module that receives a request from a remote dispensing device for validation of the unique container to receive the prepaid product, compares a received identifier and a received credential ID with the identifier and the credential ID stored in the storage medium, and authorizes the dispensing of the prepaid product if they match.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2009Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Inventor: Bryan Thompson

Publication number: 20120072638Abstract: Trapping and/or processing of read/write accesses to hardware devices represented to the host through a memory mapped space may be performed without knowledge of the processor's instruction set or semantics of the processor's instructions. A single step routine may be executed to recognize page faults occurring from read/write accesses to emulated memory pages and causing the guest to retry the operation on a single step buffer. The hypervisor may perform post-operation processing on the single step buffer after the guest retries and completes the read or write access. For example, on a read request, the single step routine may place the guest value in the single step buffer for reading by the guest on a retry operation. On a write request, the single step routine may direct the guest to retry the write operation into the single step buffer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2010Publication date: March 22, 2012Applicant: Unisys Corp.Inventors: J.
