  • Patent number: 10581604
    Abstract: A Post-Quantum Computing Cryptographic communication protocol including a lattice based RSA algorithm, the protocol may include: generating a public key and a private key pair; encrypting a message using a public key pair; transmitting the encrypted message over a communication channel; and decrypting the encrypted message using a private key pair, wherein the generating the public key and the private key pair includes; selecting a first random vector from lattices using a Klein's Algorithm; selecting a second random vector from lattices using the Klein's Algorithm; generating a shortest random vector using a Gauss Sieve algorithm; taking a first vector product of the first random vector and the second random vector; calculating a Totient function of the first vector product; converting the Totient function to the first vector product; generating the public key pair; and generating the private key pair.

  • Publication number: 20160342453
    Abstract: Log sequence monitoring can be used advantageously in a cloud environment or other system. In at least some embodiments, a cloud administrator or other such entity can use log sequence monitoring tools and/or data to quickly pinpoint a root cause of an anomaly identified through log monitoring. Once the root cause has been determined, the administrator (or other appropriate person, process, or entity) can take appropriate remedial action on the faulty component, service, or other such cause.

  • Patent number: 8051459
    Abstract: A Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) system implementing extended policy models and method for their enforcement, is provided. Extended attributes are defined to specify extended policies. The SELinux policy model is extended to include the extended policies. The extended policies are enforced in addition to SELinux Type Enforcement. In one implementation, defining extended attributes involves defining TC-related attributes to specify TC-related policies. Further, extending the SELinux policy model includes extending the SELinux policy model to include the TC-related policies, in addition to SELinux Type Enforcement. Furthermore, enforcing the extended policies includes enforcing the TC-related policies in addition to SELinux Type Enforcement.
