  • Patent number: 11411725
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for a efficient distributed secret shuffle protocol for encrypted database entries using independent shufflers. Each of multiple data providers provides an encrypted secret input value. A set of shuffling clients, independent of the data providers, participate with a service provider in a secret shuffling of the encrypted secret input values. The protocol includes generation and exchange of random numbers, random permutations and different blinding values. A last protocol step includes using homomorphism, for each client, to perform computations on intermediate encrypted data to homomorphically remove a first blinding value and a second blinding value, to generate a rerandomized encrypted secret input value. As a result, the rerandomized encrypted secret input values are generated in an order that is unmapped to an order of receipt, at the service provider, of the encrypted secret input values.

  • Patent number: 11409719
    Abstract: A platform's central instance manager (IM) receives microservice requests issued to a common application shared between various tenants. Embodiments function to co-locate within a same database, the persistence containers of different microservice instances of a specific tenant. The central IM associates a corresponding tenant identifier with microservice request instances created. Referencing this assigned tenant identifier, the central IM maintains an external configuration file comprising a mapping of services (m) and tenants (n), to relevant persistence container service instances. Such mapping permits the allocation of tenant-specific microservice data for storage within persistence containers of a particular database. This co-location of data promotes flexibility, allowing tenants to furnish database structures tailored to their individual needs.

  • Patent number: 11411946
    Abstract: Different cloud software applications may be efficiently integrated in a secure manner, by providing each system with a dedicated Integration Setup URL/Endpoint. This endpoint can be derived from the base URL together with an Integration Setup User Interface (UI). Security is afforded through verification of certain properties. Cryptographically secured customer identification (via public key certificates) can ensure that customer A does not connect to systems of customer B. Also, business type information or landscape/zone can be referenced assign a tenant to a software variant (development, test, production). This prevents, e.g., a development system of type A from accidentally being connected to a production system of type B. Integration setup may be triggered per an integration scenario from one of the two affected endpoints, or from a separate (e.g., central) system. The configuration may be written on both sides with reasonable defaults, with the double confirmation ensuring compliance and security.

  • Patent number: 11403286
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for bridging a natural language processing (NLP) engine to a database engine, enabling natural language queries to be handled by the database engine. The NLP engine produces a query structure, containing an intent and one or more query parameters, for a natural language query. Rules are successively applied to the query structure. When a rule matches, a corresponding action is performed to identify a sub-intent, transform query parameters, or generate a filter string. The sub-intent is mapped to a query destination, which can be an intrinsic or extrinsic service offered by the data engine. A query string is constructed, including the query destination and any filter strings, and transmitted to the database engine to answer the original query. The disclosed technologies are flexible, easily reconfigurable, and future-proof. Variations and use cases are disclosed.
