Patent number: 9762611Abstract: A first node of a networked computing environment initiates each of a plurality of different types of man-in-the middle (MITM) detection tests to determine whether communications between first and second nodes of a computing network are likely to have been subject to an interception or an attempted interception by a third node. Thereafter, it is determined, by the first node, that at least one of the tests indicate that the communications are likely to have been intercepted by a third node. Data is then provided, by the first node, data that characterizes the determination. In some cases, one or more of the MITM detection tests utilizes a machine learning model. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Cylance Inc.Inventors: Brian Michael Wallace, Xuan Zhao, Jonathan Wesley Miller

Patent number: 5946177Abstract: A circuit (100) ensures electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection during an ESD event. The ESD circuit (100) has a current shunting device (135), a RC trigger circuit (125) and a RC delay circuit (130). The shunting device (135) is connected between two IC power supply rails, and provides the primary current path for a positive ESD event referenced from one power supply rail (V.sub.DD 105) to the other (V.sub.ss 110). The trigger circuit (125) initially activates the shunting device into a low resistance conductive state in response to an ESD event. The RC delay circuit (130) serves to maintain the shunting device in the conductive state, initially produced by the trigger circuit (125), for the remaining duration of the ESD event. A large capacitor required to achieve the delay time in this RC circuit may be eliminated by utilizing the gate-to-body capacitance in the existing shunting device (135).Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1998Date of Patent: August 31, 1999Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: James Wesley Miller, Cynthia Ann Torres, Troy L.
