  • Patent number: 11765152
    Abstract: Access control enhancements reduce security risks and management burdens when a user with access to a primary asset seeks access to a related supplementary asset. When a sufficient proof of access to the primary asset is provided, and the relationship of the primary and supplementary assets is recognized, access to the supplementary asset is granted without requiring a separate sign-in, a permission query to the supplementary asset's owner, or an authorization through an authenticated identity of the requestor, for example. Automatic access to the supplementary asset can be granted without the security risks inherent in a file share or a share link. In particular, a developer with access to one component of a project can be automatically and conveniently granted access to the rest of the project. Likewise, a custom machine learning model for autocompletion becomes accessible to all developers working on the repository source used to train the model.

  • Patent number: 11755742
    Abstract: A method for automatically detecting and mitigating risks related to cybersecurity in a Building Management System (BMS) includes evaluating settings of a user account of the BMS; identifying a security risk associated with the settings of the user account; evaluating settings of a network device of the BMS; identifying another security risk associated with the settings of the network device, presenting a user interface, wherein the user interface allows a user to view a policy recommendation associated with either security risk; and implementing the change in the settings of the user account or a change in the settings of the network device based at least in part on an input from the user via the user interface or an automated response to the policy recommendation. The method allows for administrators to easily view and change settings of user accounts and network devices to improve the cybersecurity of the BMS.

  • Patent number: 11755313
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing changes made to source code of a program at runtime are provided. In particular, a computing device may execute the source code in a runtime environment and detect changes made to the source code at runtime in the runtime environment. In response to detecting the changes, the computing device may determine if the changes were made to a type in the source code identified as reloadable. In response to determining that the changes were made to the type in the source code identified as reloadable, the computing device may create a new version of the type and perform implementation of the changes to the source code at runtime using the new version of the type.

  • Patent number: 11748084
    Abstract: Techniques for an ultra-fast installation of a new operating system are provided. Conventional dependencies are ignored in a way that allows multiple components to be installed at once, even when certain components traditionally could not be installed until one or more other components had successfully completed their installation. An operating system executing on a computing device receives a container with files that collectively include a new operating system and a definition with the locations for the files in memory. An uninstalled state may be assigned to each file. Each file may be moved from the container to the location specified in the definition in parallel and independently of other files. After each file is moved, each file may be switched from the uninstalled state to the installed state. The new operating system may be transitioned from an uninstalled state to an installed state once files are switched to installed states.

  • Patent number: 11741280
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for identifying software dependencies based on functional line-of-code behavior and relation models. Techniques include accessing a first line-of-code behavior and relation model representing execution of functions of a first portion of executable code, the first portion of executable code being associated with a first symbol; detecting a change to the first portion of executable code; constructing, based on the changed first portion of executable code, a second line-of-code behavior and relation model representing execution of functions of the changed first portion of executable code; determining, based on the constructed second model, a dependency between (i) the changed first portion of executable code or the first symbol and (ii) a second symbol; and generating, based on the determined difference, a report identifying the dependency.

  • Patent number: 11740884
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for migrating a service (e.g. microservice) from using a first application programming interface version to using a second (e.g. newer or updated) application programming interface version. The method may include determining a difference between specifications of the first and second versions of the application programming interface. Historical usage of the first version of the application programming interface by the service may then be analyzed with respect to the difference so as to determine if the service meets the specification of the second version of the application programming interface. Responsive to determining the service meets the specification of the second version of the application programming interface difference, the service may be migrated from using the first version of the application programming interface to using the second version of the application programming interface.

  • Patent number: 11733991
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a data processing method based on an intelligent contract, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving a firmware update request corresponding to a first server node transmitted by an execution node, the firmware update request including an updated version parameter of the first server node; invoking an intelligent contract according to the firmware update request; obtaining, from a blockchain based on the intelligent contract, a firmware version update record and a firmware version release record that are associated with the first server node; and determining validity of the firmware update request according to the firmware version update record, the firmware version release record, and the updated version parameter. The firmware version release record is determined by a release node on the blockchain based on a consensus mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11726956
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement a contextual comparison of machine registry hive files. In embodiments, the comparison process is implemented by a data collection agent that periodically uploads changes in a client machine registry to a machine assessment service. During a data collection, the agent compares a binary hive file generated from the current state of the registry with another binary hive file generated in the last period. The differences are captured in a text-encoded patch file, which is used to update a snapshot of the registry maintained by the machine assessment service. The comparison is performed directly on the two binary hive files without converting them into text files, so that the process can be performed more quickly and using less compute bandwidth. Moreover, the comparison process can be extended to implement a variety of custom behaviors based on the contents of the hive files.

  • Patent number: 11726800
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses may provide for the creation and management of applications with dependencies. An application executing via a client application on a computing device may require a dependency, such as a software module, that is unavailable at the computing device. The application may be compiled with a remote loader module. Based on determining the dependency is unavailable at the computing device, the remote loader module may send information about the dependency to a server, which may provide instructions for retrieving the dependency. The application may then, via the remote loader and based on the instructions, request the dependency. The server may locate the dependency or generate it based on capabilities of the computing device and send the dependency to the application. The application may execute with the received dependency.
