  • System and method for accurate location of wireless terminals using mobile interrogation device
    Patent number: 9872141
    Abstract: A method includes moving an interrogation device through multiple geographical positions. At each geographical position of the interrogation device, a wireless communication terminal is solicited to establish temporary communication with the interrogation device, and a value indicative of a distance between the wireless communication terminal and the interrogation device is estimated using the temporary communication. A geographical location of the wireless communication terminal is calculated based on multiple estimated values corresponding to the respective multiple geographical positions of the interrogation device.

  • System and method for keyword spotting using representative dictionary
    Patent number: 9798714
    Abstract: Methods and systems for keyword spotting, i.e., for identifying textual phrases of interest in input data. In the embodiments described herein, the input data comprises communication packets exchanged in a communication network. The disclosed keyword spotting techniques can be used, for example, in applications such as Data Leakage Prevention (DLP), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), and spam e-mail detection.

  • Time-in store estimation using facial recognition
    Patent number: 9792489
    Abstract: A method of monitoring the amount of time spent in a specified area by an individual comprises employing a first camera to automatically create one or more entrance images, each entrance image containing a face of an entering individual that passes a first location, and storing each entrance image in a database along with a corresponding entrance time that the entering individual passed the entrance location. An exit image is compared to the entrance images in the database to identify a matching entrance image containing the same face as the exit image. A stay time is then determined for the exiting individual by determining the difference between the entrance time corresponding to the matching entrance image and the exit time.

  • Systems and methods for identifying rogue base stations
    Patent number: 9788196
    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying one or more rogue devices within a wireless communication network over a particular geographic location. A rogue base station detection system receives air interface transmissions from base stations belonging to a wireless communication network, as well as from one or more rogue base stations that do not belong to the network and are used for monitoring (e.g., hacking or eavesdropping) communication terminals communicating in the network. The system typically searches for signaling channels and converts the RF signal into GSM/UMTS messages including overcoming the different encryption methods used. The system than analyzes the received transmissions so as to identify suspicious transmissions that may be transmitted by the rogue base stations.

  • System and method for interrogating a mobile communication terminal
    Patent number: 9749921
    Abstract: Systems and methods to instruct a mobile device to switch from a first protocol to a second protocol after registering the device on a network associated with the first protocol. This may be done to obtain a cryptographic key used by the device. For example, for some communication protocols, such as 3G and 4G communication protocols, obtaining the cryptographic key is difficult. However, the 2G communication protocol uses a cryptographic key that is easier to obtain. Only after obtaining the key, the phone instructed to again switch to the first communication protocol. During the exchange of communication, the user is likely to be holding the phone at his ear, such that he is unlikely to notice that the phone is using the first communication protocol. Hence, the exchange of communication may be decrypted and monitored, without the user noticing anything amiss.

  • System and method for interception of IP traffic based on image processing
    Patent number: 9742812
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring communication traffic in communication networks, such as Internet Protocol (IP) traffic transferred over the Internet or over a wireless network. The disclosed techniques identify communication traffic that is associated with target individuals, by extracting digital images from the traffic and recognizing target individuals who appear in the images. A correlation system monitors communication sessions that are conducted in a communication network to identify known target individuals who appear in images. Upon recognizing a target individual in an image extracted from a certain session, the system correlates this target user with one or more of the communication identifiers used in the session. The system automatically identifies IP addresses or other identifiers that are used by target individuals, and enable subsequent tracking of such identifiers.

  • System and method of high volume rule engine
    Patent number: 9742637
    Abstract: A rule engine configured with at least one hash table which summarizes the rules managed by the engine. The rule engine receives rules and automatically adjusts the hash table in order to relate to added rules and/or in order to remove cancelled rules. The adjustment may be performed while the rule engine is filtering packets, without stopping. The rules may be grouped into a plurality of rule types and for each rule type the rule engine performs one or more accesses to at least one hash table to determine whether any of the rules of that type match the packet. In some embodiments, the rule engine may automatically select the rule types responsive to a set of rules provided to the rule engine and adapt its operation to the specific rules it is currently handling, while not spending resources on checking rule types not currently used.

  • System and method for bit-map based keyword spotting in communication traffic
    Patent number: 9690873
    Abstract: Methods and systems for locating occurrences of a search pattern in a body of text. A processor searches the text for one or more occurrences of a pattern. Both the text and the pattern comprise symbols of some alphabet. In preparation for the search, the processor defines a respective bit-map for each alphabet symbol. Using the bit-maps, the processor carries out a highly efficient process of searching the text for occurrences of the pattern. The processor then scans the pattern backwards using the bit-maps, symbol by symbol, attempting to match the symbols of the pattern to the corresponding symbols of the text. If a match is not found, the processor calculates the size of the jump to the next position in the text based on the accumulated results of the evaluations up to the current position.
