Patents by Inventor Robert Boring

Robert Boring has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8838955
    Abstract: Systems and methods for two-way, secure, data communication within critical infrastructures are usable to protect critical infrastructure information while allowing real-time monitoring and remote access. Such communication systems and methods can be used to protect critical data by, for example, providing a single point of access via unidirectional, serial, non-routable connections. Additionally, data flow may be controlled by a first server that is not accessible outside of the critical infrastructure.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 16, 2014
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Robert Boring, Richard Joseph Mitchell
  • Patent number: 8621629
    Abstract: An intrusion detection system for detecting and defeating unauthorized intrusion within a computer network of an infrastructure element of a high value target, the system including a pre-processor configured to receive data from a computer network of an infrastructure element of a high value target and to output filtered data, a grammar applicator configured to apply grammars produced using a grammar based compression and learning algorithm to the filtered data, a decision making device configured to provide a recommendation based on an input from the grammar applicator as to whether the data in the computer network constitutes an unauthorized intrusion, and an emulator in communication with the decision making device configured to expand a sampling of the filtered data using a polymorphic transformation to allow the decision making device to further analyze the sampled data to determine an unauthorized intrusion. A method and a computer software code are also disclosed.
