Publication number: 20120222090Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium for protecting a communications device connected to a communications system against an unauthorized intrusion, including providing a variable identifier to the communications device and entities authorized access thereto. The variable identifier is provided to a user address book and assigned with a permanent identifier and the permanent identifier, but not the variable identifier, is available to a user. The presence or absence of the correct variable identifier is sensed during an attempt to access the communications device for granting or denying access to the communications device. A new variable identifier is periodically provided to the communications device and to the authorized entities and to the user address book and assigned with the permanent identifier, wherein the permanent identifier, but not the new variable identifier, is available to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2012Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: INVICTA NETWORKS INC.Inventor: Victor I.

Publication number: 20110081886Abstract: A communications system and method is provided to reliably protect communication systems, such as mobile phone systems, from unauthorized use, as well as to make the interception of wireless communication more difficult. Specifically, the static wireless phone number or other similar identifiers are not used for identification and authorization during communication between the mobile unit and a base station. Instead, a set of private identifiers is determined and is known only to the phone company and the base stations controlling the mobile phone calls. These private identifiers allow dynamic and continual updating of the mobile phone and base station directories with current valid identifiers that are used for communication between the devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2010Publication date: April 7, 2011Applicant: INVICTA NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Victor I. Sheymov, Roger B. Turner

Patent number: 7752432Abstract: A code inspection system produces a dynamic decoy machine that closely parallels one or more protected systems. The code inspection system can analyze and monitor one or more protected systems, and as those protected systems are updated, altered or modified, the dynamic decoy machine, in which potentially malicious code is tested, can also be updated. Thus, the dynamic decoy machine can accurately reflect the current state of the one or more protected systems such that the potentially destructive nature, if any, of suspicious code can be evaluated as if it were in the actual environment of the protected system, without jeopardizing the security of the protected system.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2006Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Invicta Networks, Inc.Inventor: Victor I.

Publication number: 20100146595Abstract: A method, system, and device for controlling access for networking computers or devices, including a controller (112, 126) that controls access to a communications network or system (102, 116) including networking computers or devices, wherein computers or devices or entities that can be granted access to the network or system are on a push file or list, and those that can be granted access based on an access request to the controller are on a pull file or list. The controller grants or denies access based on the push file or list without receiving the access request, grants or denies access based on the pull file or list, only after receiving the access request, and with proper jurisdiction and otherwise sends the access request to a higher level controller with jurisdiction over the controller. The process is repeated until the access request is granted or denied.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2008Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: INVICTA NETWORKS, INCInventor: Victor I. Sheymov

Patent number: 7698444Abstract: By distributing various information and monitoring centers that monitor distributed networks and unauthorized access attempts, it is possible to, for example, more quickly defend against an unauthorized access attempts. For example, a Level 1 monitoring center could monitor a predetermined geographical area serving, for example, a wide variety of commercial and public sites, an organizational structure, or the like, for alarms. Upon analyzing an alarm for various characteristics, the Level 1 monitoring center can refer the unauthorized access attempt to an appropriate Level 2 center for, for example, possible retaliatory and/or legal action. Then, a Level 3 monitoring center can record and maintain an overall picture of the security of one or more networks, the plurality of monitoring centers and information about one or more hacking attempts.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Invicta Networks, IncInventors: Victor I.
