  • Patent number: 10645065
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to proxy-based database encryption. According to one aspect, a database encryption proxy system can receive, from a database client, input of a Structured Query Language (“SQL”) statement and data to create an encrypted database table. At least a portion of the data is marked with an encrypted identifier to identify which data is to be encrypted by the proxy-based database. The database encryption proxy system can generate a random string for the portion of the data that is marked with the encrypted identifier. The database encryption proxy system can convert the SQL statement into a converted SQL statement that includes the random string in place of the portion of the data marked with the encrypted identifier and can send the converted SQL statement to a cloud database service that is configured to create the encrypted database table based upon the converted SQL statement.

  • Patent number: 10515398
    Abstract: Personalization of a rental property is automatically performed based on presence or detection of a wireless device. A unique identifier of a wireless cellular device, for example, may be associated to a personalization profile. When the wireless cellular device is detected by a network serving the rental property, the personalization profile may be retrieved. Devices in the rental property may thus be personalized with music, movies, and other information in the personalization profile. Hotel rooms and rental cars may thus be personalized to a user of the wireless cellular device.

  • Publication number: 20190354930
    Abstract: Wireless presence is used as a theft prevention mechanism for packages. When a package is shipped, the package includes a wireless security device. Before the package is delivered to its final destination shipping address, the wireless security device is activated and programmed with a security credential. The security credential, though, is based on information obtained during an initial purchase. The wireless security device may thus only be deactivated by a recipient participating in the initial purchase.
