  • Patent number: 11805142
    Abstract: A communication system including an operational network including a host and a learning and detection server, and a staging network including a host of the same type as the host, a test execution server, and a learning and detection server. The test execution server performs a communication test by transmitting test communication in a normal state to the host and receiving communication performed by the host. The learning and detection server learns the communication of the host, generates an initial model for detecting an anomalous communication of the host, and transmits the initial model to the learning and detection server. The learning and detection server learns the communication of the host and generates a model for detecting an anomalous communication of the host, while monitoring the communication of the host using the initial model received from the learning and detection server.

  • Publication number: 20220292225
    Abstract: A storage unit stores a size of a free area of storage of target equipment, and software saved in the storage. The generation unit generates a graph including a number of nodes according to the size of the free area of the storage, and transmits the graph to the target equipment. The calculation unit calculates a hash value corresponding to each software block saved in the storage. The verification unit verifies the presence or absence of tampering of the storage of the target equipment using the hash value corresponding to the block calculated, a response calculated using the graph returned to a challenge that specifies a node of the graph, and a hash value corresponding to the block returned as the response to the challenge that specifies the block.
