  • Publication number: 20220004644
    Abstract: A centralized network environment is provided for processing validated executable data based on authorized hash outputs. In particular, the system may generate cryptographic hash outputs of code or software that has been evaluated (e.g., within a virtual environment). The system may then store the hash outputs within a hash database which may be accessible by multiple entity networks, where multiple entities may upload hash output values to and/or retrieve hash output values from the hash database. Based on the data within the hash database, each entity may efficiently identify code that may be safe or unsafe to execute on certain computing systems within its network environment. The system may further comprise an artificial intelligence-powered component which may be configured to detect patterns within code that has been identified by the system as unsafe and provide notifications containing systems likely to be affected and recommended countermeasures.

  • Publication number: 20210399731
    Abstract: A cross-coupled differential activated latch circuit with circuitry comprising a plurality of n-FETs and inverters that can be implemented completely in GaN. The circuitry prevents the digital latched values on the outputs of the latch from changing unless the digital input values on the inputs are different, thus preventing common-mode voltage on the inputs from corrupting the stored latch values.

  • Publication number: 20210326455
    Abstract: A virtual environment system for validating executable data using authorized hash outputs is provided. In particular, the system may generate a virtual environment using a virtual environment device, where the virtual environment is logically and/or physically separated from other devices and/or environments within the network. The system may then open a specified set of executable data within the virtual environment and perform a set of commands or processes with respect to the executable data. If the system determines that the executable data is unsafe to run, the system may generate a hash output of the executable data and store the hash output in a database of unauthorized executable data. In this way, the system may securely generate a repository of authorized and unauthorized hashes such that the system may ensure that unsafe executable data is blocked from being processed within a network environment.

  • Publication number: 20210326234
    Abstract: A virtual environment system for validating using accelerated time-based process execution is provided. In particular, the system may generate a virtual environment using a virtual environment device, where the virtual environment is logically and/or physically separated from other devices and/or environments within the network. The system may then open a specified set of executable data within the virtual environment and perform a set of commands or processes with respect to the executable data. The set of commands or processes may be executed on an accelerated-time basis such that processes that would be executed on a longer timeline may be executed at a greater speed (e.g., a shorter timeline). In this way, the system may securely detect the presence of latent defects or issues that may arise from executing the code on a long-term basis.

  • Publication number: 20210328985
    Abstract: A system already on a network may be analyzed when the system takes an action or may be periodically reviewed. The analysis of the system may include the creation of an environment hash for the system, which is a representation of the configuration (e.g., hardware, software, or the like) of the system, and a comparison with hash requirements. The hash requirements may be stored authorized hashes, stored unauthorized hashes, past hashes for the same system, hashes for other systems with the same or similar configurations, or the like. When the environment hash of the system meets hash requirements, the system may be allowed to continue to operate on the system or may be allowed to take the action on the network. When the hash of the system fails to meet a hash requirement, the system may be isolated from the network and investigated for a non-compliant configuration.

  • Publication number: 20210318696
    Abstract: A navigation system and method for an autonomous vehicle (AV) that includes a system controller and an environmental sensor. The system controller determines a fixed local frame (LCF) having a coordinate system originating at a fixed location in three-dimensional space. Additionally, the system controller determines an AV positional pose in LCF coordinates, which identifies an AV position in three-dimensional space and an AV orientation in three-dimensional space. An environmental sensor detects an asset feature of an asset moving within three-dimensional space. The system controller then identifies an asset feature frame (AFF) having a coordinate system originating at the asset feature. A localization module determines the AV positional pose in the AFF coordinates. The system controller then dynamically transforms the AV position pose from the LCF coordinates to the AFF coordinates and generates a motion control command based on the AV positional pose in the AFF coordinates.

  • Publication number: 20210234884
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to information security by identifying unique or related factors in common between individuals subject to a common threat vector. Data mining and data acquisition of public and non-public user information is performed to prevent, disrupt, and/or address criminal, cyber, and fraudulent threats. The information can be normalized into template(s) to align information across disparate datasets and enable efficient storage of the big data into appropriate fields to be tracked. The information can be stored in data warehouse(s) or in multidimensional data structure(s) for investigation if a threat vector against a group of individuals is detected. The multidimensional data can be analyzed to identify direct connections, common connecting entities, and/or connectivity clusters between individuals who were attacked or who may be attacked in the future.

  • Publication number: 20210211470
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of evaluating a result of enforcement of access control policies instead of enforcing the access control policies. For instance, a result of enforcement of an access control policy with regard to sign-in processes is evaluated instead of enforcing the access control policy with regard to the sign-in processes. The evaluation includes monitoring access requests that are received during the sign-in processes. Each access request requests access to a resource. The evaluation further includes comparing attributes of each access request against the access control policy that specifies criteria that are to be satisfied as a prerequisite to granting access to the resource to which access is requested by the respective access request. Metadata associated with the sign-in processes is generated instead of enforcing the access control policy with regard to the sign-in processes.

  • Publication number: 20210211517
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to account lineage tracking and automatically executing responsive actions upon detecting an incomplete lineage chain. A computing platform may receive an account-change message from a database-level interceptor. The account-change message may include information identifying a first target account as a database-level source account and identifying a second target account associated with one or more target databases. The first target account may be associated with a target application configured to access the target database. After receiving the account-change message, the computing platform may determine, based on a failure to detect a source account associated with the first target account, that an account lineage chain associated with the account-change message is incomplete.
